Truth

Mind and spirit together make up that which separates us from the rest of the animal world, that which enables a man to know the truth and that which enables him to die for the truth.-EdithHamilton




What you (really) need to know...is that I miss you.
What I (sort-of) want to say....is that I'll wait.
What you (absolutely) need to learn...is that I love you.
What I (kind of) want to do....is say I'm sorry.


No.


In fact,


I positively pine.
I will surely stay.
I actually adore you and truly, I apologize.

  2. This poem kind of almost brought a tear to my eye... which sucks for me as I'm on a public computer...
