The Response Poem by Simon Odhiambo

At first it was sweet, I enjoyed it
Then it became routine, I ejoyed it still
Now it is normal and I enjoy it more
Only I don't know how to respond

Will I ever know how
How to say thank you
How to say it is sweet
How to ask the question
Only I dont know how to respond

I thought this feeling would fade
As time goes, does this want strengthen
The more we do it, greater the bond
Only I dont know how to respond

I dont know how to respond
To the wink
To the touch
To the smile
Only I dont know when to respond

Will I ever know
How to say aye and naye
As a response
Stop, wait, go
Only then will I know how to Respond

Should I stop
Should I wait
or should I get ready
May be when I go, will I know to respond...twice
