I know it won't be long,
I'm not singing you a song.
But before you say, "So long!"
Hear my words through this poem.
I'm not a poet with class,
But I won't let my feelings pass.
I don't want you to go,
Because what I feel is true,
And I want you to feel the same way, too.
You are the light that lightened my once dark heart,
But if you try to leave,
My heart will seek the light it once had.
Loneliness will swallow me,
It won't be easy if you try to leave me.
But to make everything short:
I want you to love me back,
and stay by my side, no matter what.
But baby, how can you?
If we're worlds apart.
