I am too involved with you to let you go

Life is too short to ignore the people that matter

In an instant the flame can be extinguished,

Leaving absence where there was once substance.

 

In the same way I cannot pretend to have

No knowledge of you;

It would be careless and cruel,

Making it seem as if I want nothing from you

When I do want something…

 

For you have made the greatest

Impression upon me that can never ever leave

It keeps me awake at night holding me back from sleep

 

Your presence returns to me

Like a sweet perfume wafting through the air

I start to remember your every move, word and stare.

 

So you leaving me is impossible,

Although reality begs to differ

We are bonded and thus you carry me thither

Carry me to that safe place far from home

Carry me there for I no longer want to be alone.
