Acceptance

Why can’t I let go of you?

It seems as if your mere absence

drew you even closer to me,

as if every single cell of my body

yearns  for your attention.

I admit it, I can’t…

I’m incapable of forgetting you,

of simply erasing all that was.

I know you can’t either,

I have seen it.

You don’t need to speak…

words would be too much,

everything had already been told

and even if you want to say something…

please don’t.

Not now… not ever!

I need you to leave…

To go as far away as possible

where I can’t find you.

For I realize

I can’t carry on knowing that

you’re so close and I can’t have you…
