You told me not to think of you
and here I am, in the early hours
of the morning, doing just that!
Back into my own world, my niche
with Poetry My Friend. Like a pet,
she keeps me company, without
demanding anything from me!
Perhaps this is the way it should
really be when wanting the physical
presence of fellow life travelers. Each
one too, like you, needs space to do
what they have to do and must do!
I must confess that it is hard for me
not to think of you, even though I know
that I should! For you have come to me
like sunshine after another night when
only the stars and the moon gave me
light... like in a tunnel. My heart was
heavy with solitude. My sun had deemed
in a sunset after a beautiful day. This time,
I did not expect this sun's warm rays
to shine again for me! So how can I not think
of you when I am full of gratitude and love
to be with you! Let's compromise. I will think
of you whenever I want, but you shall have
the freedom to continue to sleep and have
your time when I am not there: closed in
my own space with a ready flame by my side
to be lit up whenever we meet again!
