You are not my option

But my choice

My reason to look forward to life

I know I have been distant

I know I have been venting my frustration

You take it silently

And withdraw without complaining

But this is just a phase

Hold on to me

Else I will be vacant once again

None can love me

As much as you do

And it reflects

In your eyes

The immense joy that swells in them

When we meet

I feel it in my heart

And return heavy

For I know none can love me

As much as you do.
