My Love for You


You have always been around for me

But how is it possible that I managed to get you

When I look directly at you, I see it

Happiness consumes me whenever you are around

What else is possible for me to need

There you sit awaiting my action


But do you really wish for me to take action
Once complete and done will you still admire me
What is it in the end that you will still need
Can I still count on you
Will I still see you  around
In reality I can not picture myself without it

My being is too submerged and intertwined in it

I can not do this, I can not take this action
I must see you around
I think I want you to see me
I think I want to see see you
What else could we possibly need

I am confused on what I truly need
I must find a way to go on without it
I can not keep doing this to you
I must not postpone the action
It would be unjust of me
To keep you around

When I really do not want you around
This is what we need
You must learn to go on without me
I can not keep up with it
I will proceed with this action
And I will learn to go on without you

You gave me reasons to want you
Now I do not want you around
I never thought I would ever have to take this action
Freedom is what I want and need
I have longed for it
You used to be all that I needed for me

Before you were what I used to need

I loved being around you and now I did it
This action… it hurt me
