He sent her many texts a day,
despite unenthusiastic replies.
He had even cleaned her hairbrush
and kept the extra in his pocket
so that she would always be close to his heart
like an everlasting locket
Love is like a garden and he plowed and sowed, plowed and sowed
Forgetting, or not knowing, to step back and see if things will actually grow.
