it isn’t love

this isn’t right,
darling.
this isn’t how it
should be.
such impatience
you make me feel,
the restlessness
you seem to cause.
it isn’t love i feel
when you go away.
for when it’s right
(the love, i mean),
it isn’t waiting
in the time apart,
it’s calm.
for you know the coming
together again
will be
breathtaking.
