Lieing here trying not to call My every effort is yearning to hear you talk Then i paused , what's the fuss? Don't you realise that the calls have turned to a cause From gist to more gist Your every word  i listen waiting to hear every word i've been missing Silently reading through the unwritten tales of your heart I searched, flipping pages Looking for answers to what truly matter Each page telling a story of hurt, pain and fear I flip faster telling myself There's more to this tale than the stories after The smile and dimples grows beyond the stares The mystery louds beyond the smile Truly what  draws me close Is the heart behind the smile Though so fragile, yet so tender                                                 -Ayo Obi
