where are you my beloved?
how have you been?
are you doing well?

we have been so carefree
so careless.

love.
love did not conquer all
love could not fight
love kept us together
but love could not emancipate us

secretly
i pine
for your touch
i withdraw
from being liberated
i reject
i refuse
because i'm afraid

i dream
of unspoken wants
it is only a time that i can be close to you
i wake
and you're gone.
