Absence A Reason

His heart was unfaithful.

But I still want to kiss him.

His love was wasteful.

Yet I know I still miss him.

My mind is absent a reason for letting go.

I chose my words carefully.

But he was still offended.

I thought I made my moves too daringly.

Because his heart still hasn't mended.

His voice was absent a reason for letting me stay.

We tried to keep it together.

But there was no excuse that we could find.

We know nothing lasts forever.

So why did l only tell my mind?

Our hearts were absent a reason for loving.
