Walayee Poet Lay Whitlock-Ishway Poet Free verse

Off I Go

Off I go in the direction of career
To lose you is my worst fear
What will you do when I’m no longer near
What will become of us my dear
Nothing is promised but our feelings are clear

Falling in love has not been easy for us
Little by little we earned each others trust

My heart is yours to keep
I’ve given in; taken the leap
It’s only you and your love I seek
Just the thought of leaving makes me weep

Remember our good times when you’re alone
If you need me please pick up the phone
Tell Mister Jay I say hey everyday
That I miss him and can’t wait to play
Don’t forget what you feel for me today
I’ll only be a phone call away
In my mind and in my heart you will stay

I love you… is all that's left to say

Lay
