I had a vision

it happened last night

someone was sqeezing

and holding me tight

He was so kind

his eyes were sincere

I quietly asked

"Why are you here?"

He promised to stay

and never to go

His job was to give me

a permanent glow

I laughed at his words

I didn't believe

I secretly wished

this person would leave

He studied my face

My biternees showed

My eyes were like stone

My words remained cold

"Just go away!"

I screamed in his ears

It's best to go now

than to wait a few years

The shock in his face

could not be described

his beloved face crumbled

and he broke down and cried

"It is with you, love

that I want to be"

His words were like fire

and ice to me

My fear was too strong

I could not submit

A flame cannot burn

If it is not lit

But I am alone

Should it be this way?

or will I lose love

day after day...
