The Words That Changed

I felt, I hurt him with my words

And refrained from him

But he never gave up.

Month after month he poked

Until I asked, what I fail to see

And he quietly sat watching me guess.

Down to Earth he is so good

I requested to see my such good friend

And he fear to reveal himself.

His quietness aches me

But I wanted him to initiate

For months he did it beyond measure.

And I understood it's my turn

I called him with number unknown

His affirmation, I cherish deep down.

I finally called him

And he ignored for a while

But when he opened, eyes wept.

He never forgot even a word

Everything he precisely narrated

And his discernment I admire most

His words, 'Why did you take so long?'

Made me realize he was waiting for me to start

And I was expected him to initiate.
