In Love?

 I sit beside you 

Watching you read, 

And I miss you terribly.

Do I make sense?

I miss the time you held my hand 

Every time we sat together.

Now the cushion between us 

Screams silently of bridges 

We never cross.

We stay together but never indulge. 

In meaningful conversations like before.

The only words spoken are in need 

And it makes me wonder 

Am I still in love with you? 

Remember the times you 

Couldn't get your eyes off me?

Now you barely look up from your phone.

Remember when an accidental touch.

Excited our cores?

I don't feel like that anymore.

Do habits do away with feelings? 

Or comfort do away with efforts? 

It shouldn't be this way, right? 

When two people are in love?
