There is a person with whom I fell deeply in love with. After some time it became apparent that I wanted to completely consume his every moment. An obsession, if you will. After a few years away from him, I realized that I would much rather share him than be without him. This poem is about my compromise.

seasons come and go

slowing down the hours

greedily stealing moments

steadily steering your life

and mine

harsh winds blowing

changing my mind

reality showing

for the first time

each direction is new

and right

every step I slowly take

is in a new light

take me as I am, and,

please,

forgive me

for showing my evil needs.

take my offering

of simple friendliness

it’s to God’s ears I confess.

I am a new person

inside and out

I show no fear,

jealousy nor doubt

I am who I am

as you are too

to converse and to share,

it’s all I ask of you.

take your time

as the days go by

to cherish all those in your life.

the ones who have and will spend many years

the ones who have left

in smiles and tears

let me have my little slice

of You in your busy life

I wont hoard it with greed

but savor,

savor indeed

to know the man;

that man who I need

to share joyful moments

at times to confide

it’s clear to me now:

your life is not mine.
