It was painful what I did today
Staying quiet around you
Watching you longing for my tongue
At least, I should have teased you
And crack your ribs to brim cheer
At least, I should have said something
Like when you hungered for my words
Before you slept off out of tiredness
And woke up out of boredom
To see me leaving without a word!
How did I miss the sign?
How did you become so melancholic from your desire?
I am ashamed of my coyness
Truly, opportunity fades away in the hands of a timid soldier
And now I am here writing
Hoping that you would receive them
with understanding
Should in case my vocal cord sleeps out on you again...
