2005-2006 Poems "With you is the perfect place to be."
I am here, and in your eyes
I am invisible.
I reached out to touch you-
Beside me, you are
A million miles away.
I glanced and you smiled
Pained me to see, it wasn't for me.
I no longer can make you laugh,
No longer can make you sing,
And stay awake late at night.
To dream dreams,
To share stories,
Just to talk with...
And to listen to-
Felt it wasn't you.
Could it be me?
Have I become a stranger?
I can't take you back.
I can't be all that you need now.
Suddenly, this is not my home.
What's left of me,
Is nothing but letting go.
I wouldn't want to be
In this place, where there is no place
To exist in love.
I am leaving to a new morning,
Yes, again and again.
With all these that I feel,
This time it won't be by any chance-
but MY CHOICE.
(I cried a lot for you, you should know what it means...)
