Come Back?

You said you loved me, I didn't return the favor. You asked if you could kiss me, I said I didn't like your flavor. You touched my arm I swallowed, alarmed. I told you no let go of my sleeve I told you to go, I said you must leave. Hit your face with a smack and you listened, come back? I said I wanted you gone. You said I'd change my mind. I said you were wrong, you weren't me kind. Said you'd miss the train. So you left and it rained. I looked for you, night and day. I found you, you said you can't stay. I touched your arm you swallowed hard, alarmed. I told you the wish I had as I gripped your sleeve. I never want you to come back because I never want you to leave.
