“Please, don’t go”
Was it for real?
A per chance set of meetings,
in each one of which we honestly,
truly deferred to each other, like pure soul mates
We did think up all plans,
Shared all thoughts, in sound personal judgment,
decided & agreed upon,
with this kind resolve of open-minded understanding
whew - of getting together
hearing from heart to heart…
Is it over now?
It has been having its very own impact, slowly…
It will have a lasting one, maybe, for sure.
I don’t know how you can fall asleep…I can’t
I don’t know how you can breathe…I can’t
I don’t know, how you will leave
I’m so sorry… I can’t
I am sure, I won’t be able to
Would it be too much to ask of you, to always be
Near me?
Please don’t wait for me
to hear me say, “please, don’t go.”
