what if
when you leave
you don't come back
when you travel
the rest of the world
with your backpack
i am sad
that you are leaving
for quite some time
i will be alone
and stuck
but i'll say "i'm fine"
when i am actually not
when i am missing you
at 2 a.m.
when i am wrought
with stress and fear
when you are there and i am here
you say nothing will change
but how do you know?
how can you be sure
our love won't go?
how can you be sure
that our love won't travel
like you will
for those four months?
how will i know
on your journey
of self-discovery
that you will discover
not only who you are
but that
you don't need my love anymore?
