Is This Love?

Stay with me
because
if you leave,
I'll be sad.
You don't want that?
Do you?

Don't act like
like you can't
hear my voice.
I've whispered
across the hall
and you've heard that.

I know your heart
is long gone a-fly,
but don't you love?
Is it a shadow?
Or is it a thought?
Or is it a feeling?

Can we lay
under the stars
just one more night?
Can I kiss you just one
more time, may I?
I ask because
not only do I care,
not only would I miss you,
not only would I cry,
not only would I diminish,
not only would I die,
I woulnd't laugh,
I wouldn't smile,
I wouldn't eat,
wouldn't drink,
wouldn't speak,
wouldn't think,
wouldn't care for life,
wouldn't care for the other fish,
wouldn't mind
if the night came crashing down.

Why?

Does it matter?

But how?
How could you
do this to me?
How could you throw me away?
How could you forget about our memories?
Our adventures?
Our kitchen mishaps?
Or laughs?
Our love?
Our jokes?
Us?
