I lie here,
my body is tired,
but my mind is awake.
I hear music that reminders me of you,
one song in particular, a happy song,
that evoked a deep sadness within me.
I don't know if you've ever heard it,
but you'd like it.
I gave you the letter,
not too long ago.
I wrote a note for practical concerns,
I wonder when you'll get back to me,
if you do.
I see your stories,
and I'm glad you're having a nice time.
And I want to reach out, but I know it'll only make you love me less.
So I'll wait.
Except I don't know if it is waiting, if forever comes,
is forever waiting?
I feel stressed,
and I long for the comfort of your words,
I would really believe them this time.
Doing things alone is hard.
I can't believe this is how a lot of people live,
partnerless.
It feels a bit empty.
But I don't want a partner.
I want you.
I miss you.
Did my letter upset you?
Did it come across wrong?
Do you wish to be further from me after reading?
Did you even read it?
I wish you missed me,
I would only need you to tell me once.

This poem is so nicely upbeat but uses contradictions such as "my body is tired but my mind is awake" "a happy song that evoked deep sadness in me" These create tension in the reader and promote attention to the poem. Very nicely done.
