Don't Know When To Start • Poem


I was scrolling through tumblr because that's what I do when I can't sleep. (I alternate between tumblr and pinterest looking for things to spark my interest and exhaust my mind so I can finally sleep.)  One of the newbs that I'm following keeps posting about this relationship blog (like the above photo) and this poem kept coming to mind.  A friend had posted it like 5 years ago and I had saved it in my facebook notes.  So here it is.  

You didn't read the instructions.
I sent you a letter, it said:
Love me.
Love me a lot.
I thought at first you
were being discreet
or subtle,
subdued,
cautious. I didn't realize
you were simply dense- See, this is the part
where you're supposed to take me in your arms,
don't you get it?
Some people don't know when to
quit but honey you
don't know when to start.

Thoughts?  Can you relate?  I know I can.  

Anyway, y'all are certainly welcome to check out my tumblr, but it's mostly my instagram photos.
