Please Don't Leave Me
I don’t think I could take such a separation
Whether you’re an acquaintance or a dear friend
I am unable to accept your loss
You hold such importance in my everyday life
I could see you once a week,
Only between your free period and my chemistry class
But that one salutation is a primal interaction
You are more important to me than you know
Though our exchanges vary in frequence,
And there is no recurring sequence
I simply could not accept
A complete end to your presence
In my daily progress
I can miss you, sure
Think about how I didn’t see you that week
But please
Don’t leave me
Do not abandon me permanently
It is already hard to miss you
Pondering on whether I mean as much to you as you do to me
They say people grow and change, drift away
But the grief I’d have to face from the loss of your soul
Would simply kill me simultaneously
We’d both be alone, fingers unable to tangle
I’d be filled with emptiness
As part of me was ripped away without warning
They’d say it’d “be okay”, but no
I wouldn’t
Please,
don’t leave me
