If I left now, if
I just disappeared, if
I popped out of

your existence like a
forgotten memory if
you saw no more of
this person you

think is good, you
might hurt for
a bit but
your scars also

might just heal. If
I left now, I

don'’t know if
I would be leaving
because I want
you to be strong, or if

I would be leaving
as a preemptive
measure, before you
could leave me.
