Softly


I love you.

But maybe we’re not aligned.

Maybe your heart is meant for someone else?

I love you.

 

Let me go softly.

Be gentle.

Please.

 

Don’t go too sudden.

But leave me here.

With the films that I hold. 

 

Be gentle.

Please.

I love you.

 

Maybe we’ll see each other again.

And if my heart races,

maybe yours will too?

 

But for now,

let me go.

Softly. 

Please be gentle.

I love you.
