I was here.

Not too long ago
i was still here.
sitting quietly beside you
you wouldn't let me near
you only let me listen
you only let me hear
hear you from a distance
see- but never touch
not daring to come any closer
afraid it would push you away
though there is no more away
than what you were from me
asking for more would have been asking too much.
so i just sett there,
drinking you with my eyes
hoping that by that
you might realize
but that never happened
and i too had enough
for being ivisible
is simply to tough
i had to give up
and get up and go
waited another minute
nothing happened
and so
i got on the way
you didn't see me disappear
but when you wake up
you'll know
not too long ago
i was here.
