If You Leave Me

That fragrant smell of you like jasmine, When you are away, I don’t forget, Do you forget mine? The goodness of it I remember always, I remember you, Do I bring you goodness? Will you remember me? A potpourri of dry flowers sit on your nightstand, Waiting to be consumed by you, If it talked, it would say I love you, When you speak petals come out flowing, When I listen to your words that drip to the floor, I soak them up with my feet that have deep roots, This, is completeness for me, If you think to leave, Then don’t come back, I, will be gone too! I won’t come back! But, if you always love me, Then, I will always love you, If ever you should come to hate me, I could never hate you, I will lie down with crashing waves blanketing me, Then, I will be that sand particle floating effortlessly in the sea, If you have killed your hate and look for me again, Then look upon the fading sun in the horizon, There, you will find me set free by the sea.
