Hello

What do you do
When saying hello to the one you lost
Is only a euphemism
A cover
A flimsy rag
A gum you stretch
To hide the monstrous
"I still love you " & "I still miss you "
Symptoms of unforgettable

I ask ....
What do you do
When saying hello has become an excuse
To grab their attention for one second
And you struggle to let that true love know
That you still care and
Silently you're hoping they don't hear
Without giving that " I really don't care " expression

Every time I think of you
I literally break the torchlight of my thoughts
So my feet won't be guided right back to you

Every time I see you
I place my stares in stray jackets of any direction that doesn't mirror you

Anytime you call my name
I punch the air out of excitement in my veins
Back slap my memory
And render you a fake blank expression

What do I do when our eyes meet
And all I can muster is hello
And I hate every bloody time I say hello
For hello says so much

What do I do on days when vulnerability exposes her womb on the edges of those hellos

I've always thought about you
(H)ow (e)vervescent (l)lyrical. (L)ovely and (o)h how witty you are
But saying hello isn't easy
I reveal too much of me that spent so much time away from you
Trying to heal
Trying free thoughts
Trying to emancipate the heart that can't read reason
Her ignorance naturally dictates that she defies wisdom
And she says hello
Hoping that you don't see
Hello , listen !
I love you , I've never stopped
Hello
I've missed you and I've thought about kissing you 3seconds ago
Hello
Hello is all I hope you hear
And not the pain
Not the love
The " I'll always love "
Or the " I'll always want you "

What do you do when saying hello
Is just a lie
When saying hello is never enough
What do I do on days when all I want to say is
"I love you "
