tell me when to stop
looking at you from behind,
waiting for you to find me there,
watching as you silently
retreat to your usual cradle of solitude,
breathing in the bliss
of silence in one corner.tell me when to stop
adoring such a quiet scene,
the hopeful dream
that I am the one you're seeing
when you're staring at nowhere,
or when you're feeling my presence
from the banisters of the stairs.tell me when to stop
those bittersweet sighs,
the greed of being with you
when you're not even there,
the chest-hammering pain I feel,
depriving me of air
whenever you're away,
whenever you forget about me,
or whenever you dream
of somebody else.tell me when to stop
assuming that you think of me too
when I think of you,
for this is just too hard to bear.
You are someone I can never have.
So if you must say that one word,
look at me and be gentle,
then graciously break my heart.I shall stop
at once.but if you must tell me otherwise,
then I shall never ask again.
And I will never grow tired
of thinking and sighing,
of waiting and dreaming,
and of stealing
glances from you
forever.
