I call you captain to create distance. You need the distance. We both need each other. O captain, I’m afraid of losing you. I love you, and more terrifying than that I’m in love with you. I know it’s wrong. It’s mutiny. A betrayal of trust. I wasn’t always in love with you. But I’ve accepted it as true. O captain, I don’t want to hurt you. I didn’t realize how bad it was until you left. You left. And part of me left too.
I wanted to run after you. To stop you in the hall, in front of all. Kiss you then and there.
I didn’t. I said goodbye, and sat back down after we hugged goodbye.
I love you captain. It pains me to say. Regardless of how I try, the feelings stay.
Captain, I feel marooned here, without you, left by myself.
No man is an island, but with you, I kept afloat.
Now I can’t help but feel I’m An anchor holding you back.
