YOU II

Do not think for an instant

there is a day

when I don't want to see you

or think of you

or imagine aspects

that should remain uncovered.

Do not think

there is an instant

when you are not

in some way

near me.

I would have you beside me

in all circumstances

in most ways

if I could

if you would let me.

But you don't

and so

somedays

it just hurts too much.
