My Love For You

My love for you

has not diminished

but rather grown

into something I don’t get

can’t comprehend

won’t understand

My love for you

has not faded

but rather radiates

from every angle

corner, gap

and space

My love for you

has not evaporated

but rather pours

from my eyes

the tears

flow

My love for you

didn’t get up and go

but has rather taken up permanent residence

in my heart

in my soul

there you stay

My love for you

has not died

no not in the least

but is rather stronger than ever

Just because I’m letting go

doesn’t mean I like it

Just because I’m bidding farewell

doesn’t mean I enjoy it

Just because I’m saying good-bye

doesn’t mean I want to

It simply means

I love you too much

to force my way into your heart

force her out

and tear you up.

My love, for you I would never.
