As I read and reread our messages my heart breaks even as it soars.
I cannot and want not to lose you again. Why does our love hurt so much?
Why can I not keep you out of my mind?

                       (I love you.  
                                   Do not leave me.)

I know I'm not deserving of your love if it is truly reciprocal.
I am deserving of heartache and loneliness.            

               (I am deserving of hell
                                  but not its fallen angel.)

But I must ask these questions,
do you hurt as I do with our love?
Can you not keep me off your mind?
Do you too not want to lose me?
                                                    
                                 (i love you.)
