A Simple Wish

When I am in love
the person that I am in love with
is the man I think of before I sleep
He is the only man I bring into my dream
and the man I think of when I am awake

I was told that I am loved
but why then I do not feel it?
Why I am not the last person he thinks of before he sleeps
Not the only person that stays in his mind
Not the first person he excitedly expects to talk to
when the morning comes?

Do people love differently
in different ways,
different rhythm
different songs?

What I know
love should care for the person that you love
and it is not just when the sky is blue,
not only when the rainbow hugs the earth warmly,
but also when the rain floods the soil with its tears

I do not care what the song that makes you dance
or how gray the clouds are in your sky
still I want you to know that you are loved
still I want to feel loved
because I know what gray is
as much as I know what pink is

I need to feel loved daily
even if it is only a minute a day
Am I being too demanding
if I hope that simple wish
would get granted?

If you love me
you would miss me as much as I do
and be there for me
as much as I want to be there for you

I love you
even though I feel ignored
