love letters

thin air

To keep me sane
I must go on without you.
But believe me when I say
It's a tough act to go through.

I think about you always
Wonder how you have been.
You just kept pushing me away
when I begged to be let in.

But love cannot be forced
Perhaps you are scared.
I know you have been hurt before
But never so much have I cared.

Sometimes though when you care too much
You must set yourself free.
And so that is what I must do now,
to try and keep the peace.

I will always love you
And if you ever need me, I'll be there.
Now I'll keep my distance
And disappear into thin air.
