I am nothing to you now-
never really was.
You, on the other hand,
have become everything to me.
I am incapable of putting
into words- spoken or otherwise,
how important you are.
Why I can't let you be.
No good reason comes to mind,
nothing more than
you are [important] because
you can be.
You are sweet, kind, sexy,
cute, so ridiculously smart,
funny, and all around
amazing.
You just don't
see it yet.
It matters to me that
you know this
feel this
live this
breathe this.
Maybe I can let go,
walk away,
leave without looking back.
Maybe when that time comes,
when the realization hits.
When you finally accept
what I've been
telling you all along.
Maybe, when I'm sure you'll be okay
When I know your arms are safe-
from the blade.
When I know your smile is genuine-
won't quickly fade.
When I know you believe in yourself.
When I know you love yourself.
When I know you'll be kind to yourself.
Maybe then I'll go,
leave you to live your life
apart from me.
If that's what you want
and that's what you need,
then
DONE.
But, if I'm being honest,
I hope you'll ask me
to stay.
