Please
Don’t talk to me about yearning
Or ill tell you about the boy I’ve known since I was 16
The one I didn’t realize I was in love with until 23
He left his wedding for me you know
He made me understand what it means when time stops
Now I’m 30 and
we only talk through letters
Emails
Moments so small I cling to them for a year or more
Until I hear from him again
And he reads my poems you know
Please refrain
From mentioning yearning
