As I walked away, I heard you cry.
I felt the pain as I breathed and sighed.
I wanted to hug you as I pushed you away,
Hoping you would leave and, yet, wanting you to stay.
You did not understand... and neither do I.
I need you to be here, I cannot say good-bye.
I see you when you are near; I miss you when you are far.
I think about you during the day and underneath the stars.
People say harsh things and I try not to believe,
But I feel the doubt behind me when I see the things I see.
The things you say can make me melt.
It is hard to walk away from the things I felt.
I know this is hard and I do not mean to be,
I promise you are not alone... the pain is also with me.
I do not mean to be selfish, I just don't know why.
I need you as a friend, not just another guy.
Please do not be upset with me, I will grow up someday soon.
Maybe that bright day it will be just you and me.
I love this poem.. I can relate to it so well... keep on writing....I enjoy reading your work.
