For you

Letters. Calls. Messages.
You didn't get any of them, did you?

Pain. Euphoria. Hunger. Jealousy.
You didn't feel any of them, did you?

Moments. Pictures. Memories.
You didn't preserve any of them, did you?

Love. Trust. Concern.
You never returned any of them, did you?

Apologies. Acceptance. Faith.
You never realized their true value, did you?

Crying. Screaming. Begging.
You never did any of those things, did you?

I'm glad you didn't, dearest.
 Because I'd do it all to savour each bite of you, unflinchingly.

I'd turn the tide for you. Always.
