Some Longing

I count down reasons, but they don’t speak in your favor.

I might regret writing these lines twenty years later.

I wish there was a spark, I wish there was some longing,

But you will be out of my mind when I awake in the morning.

There is not enough strength in me to say I am sorry,

And I am glad you found your own way to adore me,

But I must close the door, I must leave you here alone

Because I will never crave you,

Will not build you a home.
