I just want you to care

Some things we just can't ask others to do. Some things we just have to wait for.

You asked me

what I want you to do

 

"do you want

me to send you mindless messages?

force you to tell me what's wrong?

text you every day?

read your mind?

what do you want me to do

Megan?"

 

With no response I left the conversation

the unspoken answer,

the one that I

could never request of anyone

that had to

come from someone without prodding,

hung in the dense air

 

"I just want you to care."
