To My Dear Love


To my dearest love, 

You are all I need. 

You get me away from my problems

that seem to never fade. 

I wish I cherished you more 

when I was just a little younger. 

Even if you are the thing I leave the most, 

I will always love you more than you would know. 

Right before I can even touch your presence, however, 

I have to leave again. 

I think of broken stories and lost love,

so I know you will support me after. 

I am very thankful and oh so sorry 

for the help and comfort you give me. 

Although you give me the greatest pleasure, 

and that I wish to be lost to you forever, 

I cannot have what I desire, 

because of my responsibilities. 

So, now I say thank you again; 

To sleep, my very best friend.
