Platonic Love

And the more i keep this feeling inside
The days pass
And im afraid you’re changing
Changing to something I didn’t know before.
If that happens, what am I going to do with this feeling?
Throw it away, like it was nothing?

But if I don’t wait,
And tell you now
Will you understand?
What will you do?

You’re getting distant
More, and more distant, every day
I feel like one day you’ll be gone.
If that happens, what am I going to do with this feeling?
Throw it away, like I was nothing?

But, the most terrifying thing is
If I say something, will you stay?
Or your journey says you need to go away?
I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do to make you stay.
And everything I can do is…
See you go away…

Oh, my Lord
Please keep him safe.
It’s all I can do,
It’s all I can pray
Please, don’t leave his side
And be with him until the end

Ahh, it s such a beautiful poem, a poem which shows the true love that no matter how bad your partner is, you still love him, that no matter if he even leaves you, you want him to be safe, a really nice written poem, you see that we should try our best to save our love but if he s unwilling to stay, go away realizing that we really give pur best and that he wasn t willing to stay, cry, do cry but don t cry for the same reason again, good luck and welcome to poetrysoup

Wow! Cyber Ghost, great lyrical poem! I like it that you wonder what to do with the feeling, throw it away? It brings the reader to the realization that our feelings toward people are uniquely that person's attributed feelings. Profoundly well done!
