Summary:
The poem tells the story of two individuals who have been in a long-term relationship. The speaker eagerly waits for updates from her partner but is disappointed when she realizes that the message she received was not from her lover. Despite the passing years, the partner remains unchanged, never disturbing the speaker. The speaker, in turn, accepts this characteristic. The passage of time and distance between them goes unnoticed, and they both fail to realize their importance to each other. The partner's stubbornness contrasts with the speaker's sensitivity. The poem reflects on how they have come so far without realizing it and emphasizes that the number of years is insignificant compared to the joy of being together. The poem concludes with a call to celebrate their enduring bond and find solace in their continued togetherness.
Amidst a circle of forgotten tones,
I waited for your message on my phone.
But disappointment struck my heart's core,
For it wasn't you—it hurt, I'm torn.
Each day and night, I yearned to hear,
Updates from you, my soul held dear.
You, unchanging, a constant embrace,
Through the passing years, a steady grace.
Time, a snail's pace, crept silently by,
Days felt like ages, with every sigh.
Unaware, our bond stretched thin and wide,
The distance grew, our hearts divide.
You, indifferent to the hands that chime,
I, accepting, bide my time.
Years entwined, yet blind to the worth,
Stubborn you, and I, ever since birth.
How did we not see the years flit away?
Our love, once vibrant, now shades of gray.
Let's cherish the moments that make us whole,
For love's the essence that fuels the soul.
