What matters...

Why is it that,

I can smile at others but frown at you
I can overlook the faults of others but nitpick on your shortcomings
I gush with praises of others but stinge on good words abt you


The same reason why
I don't listen to others but listen to you
I don't bother about their absence but acutely feel yours
I don't shed a tear for others but cry for you
I may not remember what others do but analyse and reminisce every single moment shared with you

Suppressing the desire to articulate hopes in case it gets jinxed
Fighting expectations and feelings in case its just a dream

Your every action lend so much weight
Your every word causes me to be seiged

Why do I care so much?
Cos you matter...
More than I will ever admit
More than I will ever concede
