Notes About The Poem

Should You Leave

should I wake....

one morn' to find 
    you gone 
       without so much
          as a sad goodbye,
             do not take 
                our moon...
                    away, too.

leave me 
   a day full 
      of sunshine 
         and your silhouette 
            dancing in my daydreams 
                give... 
                    me something to hold!

                           (yalto)
