Slow* down
          understand your pain
                                         be present, be *now

I cast you in me -
My story you don't know,
my questions you can't answer.

I cast you in me -
so, maybe;
you can understand

I cast you in me -
embracing everything you are,
accepting everything I am not.

I cast you in me -
forgetting the shadows,
regretting the days.

I cast you in me
as I wish
you cast
in me

She said:
I'm ready now -
Ready to be
in love

He said:
Someday, soon.
You will meet someone
who will constantly
and continually
move you.

She thought:
Not you?

He thought:
Please
let it be
me.

within me,
a universe
exist; unique.

endless, everlasting
we once were -
and never again

let this be
a goodbye
out goes the we
in goes the me

let this be
the end -
you are
*uninvited
