AUTHOR'S NOTE: This was written for a guy a was seeing sometime in 2000 or 2001, the same guy I wrote 'Song of the Centaur' for, which can also be found in this book. As with, 'Song of the Centaur', this was also written as that relationship was coming to a close. Enjoy! :)

Set You Free
I have tried to show you
through my touch,
through the fact that I have come to you
and come back to you
over and over and over again ...
... I don't have much to offer you, to give you,
only myself, my laughter, my love,
... and still ... it's not enough.
I have tried to convince you
through the unspoken, and even spoken
things I say and things I do,
and still ... you do not or cannot believe
that I believe in you.
I have tried to walk with you
in your desperate and lonely times of need.
I shall never walk away from you,
I will set you free.
