please don't leave

sometimes
when things are too good
(or when they aren't good enough)
I imagine you will leave me
in the only way I know leaving to be like

I imagine that you will find someone
who makes loving easier
who is closer
and speaks more beautiful words

I imagine that you will discover
as others have
that loving me
comes with consequences

I don't believe my imagination
ocean girl
your words are too much like honey
you create too much of a buzz in me
for me to believe the hornets swirling around my mind

but sometimes
I am scared
you will discover what she did
