Getting Comfortable Poem by Seli SusuAtiase

I got used to caring about you
And got fond of worrying over you
I liked having these arms around you
As if I could protect you from everything……
I got used to being held in your arms
But now don’t know how else to care for you
Bcos you are gone far away
And all I am left with are the memories

It was nice to have you here with me
Have us pass through each day as it arrived
But that is a reality gone into dreams
As our lives go on

You are so far away …so far out of reach
So very distant… almost out of touch
I just grasp thin air when I crave for a hug
I got too comfortable with you in too short a while.
I got used to having you here
And almost hoped it would last forever
You walked in and from the first we loved
And with the distance the love thrives
Somewhere within… t
wo hearts beat Close together ….
Two hearts cry In share loneliness a heart calls out
“You are my everything”
