I already see you.
Your mouth is shut.
But
Your actions say otherwise.
You think I don't notice.
You think I'm oblivious.
But
On the contrary
I am not.
I see you
Slipping away
Wriggling yourself
Away from me
But
I am not forcing you
To stay.
Our daily talks
Vanishing into the dust
Through the occupation
Of your new friends.
But
I do not stop you.
I let you be.
And then I tell you
I love you
But
With what success?
Where does that place me
In your heart?
But
I continue to say
I love you
Even as you slip away.
But
Before you do
Just let me know
Before it happens
So I can end
My lonely misery
Before your eyes
But
My last words
Will always be
I love you
Your mouth is shut.
But
Your actions say otherwise.
You think I don't notice.
You think I'm oblivious.
But
On the contrary
I am not.
I see you
Slipping away
Wriggling yourself
Away from me
But
I am not forcing you
To stay.
Our daily talks
Vanishing into the dust
Through the occupation
Of your new friends.
But
I do not stop you.
I let you be.
And then I tell you
I love you
But
With what success?
Where does that place me
In your heart?
But
I continue to say
I love you
Even as you slip away.
But
Before you do
Just let me know
Before it happens
So I can end
My lonely misery
Before your eyes
But
My last words
Will always be
I love you
