The thing is,
We've been apart for too long.
I do not matter that much
To you anymore.
I thought I could still belong,
But too much time has passed.
I am too different.
I felt too unwelcome.
It's amazing as much as frightening how one memory
can bring you to your knees, begging for a repeat.
You are the greatest risk
I am delighted to take.
The arduous choice
I am willing to make.
You are the calm to my storm,
The man I was praying for.
The blessing to my curse,
The center of my universe.
I am your sun.
But even though I give you light,
You can't stand my brightness.
You gave me wings then put me in a cage.
