Silent Confessions

 

I hold on to you, eyes closed, as we fly high,

You don't tilt towards me, nor pull me closer to you

But that is not important

As long as I know, you want me to hold on to you.

I face a stumble; I fall, I cry,

You don't console me or try to make things better

But that is not important

As long as I know, you want to me to come out stronger.

I send you notes and messages,

You read them alright, but do not respond

But that is not important

As long as I know, somewhere...we share a bond.

I look into your eyes

But I do not see myself in them anymore

It hurts a wee bit, but that is not important

As long as I know, by your side, you have some other strong oar.

I have my own bindings

And you may have yours going strong,

But that is not important

As long as I know, my commitment to this emotion is lifelong.
