"...she looked like she always did, like someone who was never really mine." Can relate with that.

[@coriej2284]

Sduduzo Mgwaba “OH” in the background

[@g11m2902]

Corie J Yeah that dude really felt the hit.

[@passionatetruth]

Maybe Button poetry could upload the text of their poems in the about section?

[@NotANoob27x7]

learned to love from a distance when actually loving means closeness

[@MrTshepo60]

How sad sad is it that we have got the signals all crossed!

[@MsEmmyILY]

“.... Like someone who was never really mine.” Wow.

[@ashleyedwards4821]

I'm crying because I know the exact feeling of this.. We need to learn to love better, and not just through our finger tips.

[@nean1xoxo]

really resonated with me... i've noticed people losing the ability to interact well with others in person but excelling through using phones. this definitely includes myself

[@LeftLight]

This brought tears to my eyes... Hits close to home, probably for a lot of people.

[@kafilahm5715]

When poetry speaks to you it is such an amazing feeling. Im awestruck. This was great.

[@yannii52]

I come back to this poem all the time

[@BrinkersMad]

never realised it but it's true. Whenever I see him it's like nothing happened. Are we even friends?

[@ThePrankgurl]

beautiful and so true... and though we cannot completely avoid expressing love through texting I ensure that its not on their wall to make a public declaration of my feeling and instead of expressing my feelings make it into a spectacle for people to entertain themselves. so I always send private messages and most of all ensure that I proclaim my true feelings when I am truly face to face with the person and they can see the truth in my eyes

[@devkergirl2025]

I'm texting a girl right now. It's early, I'm trying to talk to her more in person. Get to know her. We never really were taught how to deal with that anxiety face to face.

[@dominique4432]

I wanted so much more. So good.

[@drkcaey]

Just how did we become like this?

[@EXXORO]

This hit me pretty hard

[@TheJuliana0901]

youtube knows just the right things to make me yearn and cry in 2020

[@orlandolopez4993]

bloody good still wish the poets now a days were like this

[@tinaima01]

"... like someone who was never mine..." #Snap #Snap. online connection is definitely different from physical connection.

[@JaTaunPratt]
