Bound

Proximity

I never knew the dull ache
That would cloud my chest
When I decided to keep you around

I remember the stabbing pains
Of long nights spent alone
When I pushed you away

My heart yearns for more
But my mind reminds me
"Take peace in what you have"

I think I'll love you always
Even when you do not love me
If only I could do so platonically

But I remember us
The long nights filled with warmth
The feeling of contentedness

Now I know of longing
Of holding my tongue and killing my heart
Because I'd rather ache for life, then loose you again.
