Because Of Love? Poem by Maria Sudibyo

Often I try to understand about you
But the more I don’t understand why you do

Sometimes sweet, sometimes jealous
Sometimes close, sometimes ignore

But I also don’t understand myself too
That still on your side though you like that

Sometimes bored, sometimes float
Sometimes questioning
So what makes us together now?

Because of love
Or maybe it is just a pity
Because of care
Or just common understanding
We live with accept each other

Many times I try to erase you from my mind
But the more my heart is empty without

I miss your smile, swallow your bitter
I need your warmth, and fear losing you

Maybe you also ask yourself about me
Am I still worth for your life?

Though I’m a doubt, though I’m imperfect
Though I could hurt
So what makes us still together?

Because of love
Or maybe it is just a pity
Because of care
Or just common understanding
We live with trust each other
