Uncomfortable Conversations - Poem by Dr. Swatee Miittal

Why does every conversation in my head almost always end better than in reality with you?

Tell me why ?

Which version of you am I talking to in my head ?

For if that’s the version I am in love with then who are You ?

Are you the future of the man I currently am in love with ?

Or is he the future version of You my love ?

How much would you speak’ you ask

How much would you listen, my love…

A few hours, just a few hours…

How long does your hour last ? 

Everytime time you blink your eyes my love…

An hour flies by…

I never know what’s this magic !
And so I go on and on and on….

How many times will you repeat the same thing over and over again ?’ you ask…

Everytime I feel unheard, my love.

And that’s why

Every conversation in my head almost always ends better than in reality with you.
