This is hardly a poem

Where have you gone?
Do you even read what I write anymore
you used
to tell me
when you liked one,

Now I don't know
if you care
or if you just don't like it

You fell in love with
the idea of being with me
and sometimes
i feel like
you neglect the reality
the immediacy.

I miss when you wanted to impress me
not because you needed to
but because it showed you care

Where has the romance gone?
We've been together a year
not a decade.

The present is the foundation
of the future
a necessary evil
of the ideal

I miss the excitement in your eyes
replaced by
a dreamers gleam

I love you so much
Today
this second
this immediate moment

And I feel like you love me
in the future.
