the good, the bad and maybe poems? + Quotes

A promise to you.

Back and forth
Like ping pong
Or the push and pull of the tide.

I can't tell
What's a mask
Or what shows what's going on inside.

You're reserved,
You're passive.
Why can't I tell what's on your mind?

I reach out;
You don't know
that your thoughts are treasure to find.

I will wait;
Take your time.
Will you help me understand you?

I'll help too
With baby steps,
Cause I am foreign to you too.

Can you tell?
D'you get it?
I want you. I want this. Do you?

I am yours.
You are mine.
A crash of colours, white and blue.
