Yats poems on Hello Poetry

YATS..

Hey Yats, are you there??

Yes*, he will always answer back..

That's where I got his nickname
He always STAY for me, so I called him YATS

Time passes by,
Growing up away from each other
The "always" turns into "sometimes"

But we managed to keep each other
And whenever we had a time to meet,
It always feels HOME

I still call him Yats,
He may not be physically present
but I know, he will always be there
He may not always stay, but I know
I just know, he's there..

There are people in our lives that no matter how long we haven't seen or talked to them, still it feels like home upon seeing them again. There is always a sense of familiarity.

John— I hate goodbyes too. Love, Zatanna

so you disappear with the night
without much of a goodbye,
let alone an apology,
before I could speak
whatever magic words
it would have took
for your hand to find mine
for another day.
"I ylno reve detnaw ot
evol uoy reverof,
I ylno reve detnaw uoy ot yats,"
I've run out of tricks,
and you've just ran,
so I guess the vanishing act
is the best that we both got.
