A Very Long Yearning Poem by Maria Sudibyo

You adore me like sunlight
You give me all of your love
But I don’t have the same feeling
You are my friend

Your eyes tell it brightly
Like I’m the only your life
Everything I’ll do will hurt you
You keep it shut

It doesn’t mean I don’t like it
But it’s not love
It doesn’t mean I can’t fake it
But it’s not right

You stay with me when I’m crying
Hug me and say it’ll be fine
How can I let you despair
Say I don’t care

That you want to be loved
Not only waiting
That you want something more
But I can’t be yours

It doesn’t mean I don’t like it
But it’s not love
It doesn’t mean I can’t fake it
But it’s not right
