Hold Myself Close

I have to hold myself close,
alone, to keep myself from crying,
trying to not give into the pain that my heart
wants to feel, my heart wants to cry the tears out.
Whenever I think about never being with you...
I have to hold myself close, alone, so that I wouldn't
miss you so much...so that I would not miss
being with you.
