'I'm here, aren't I? ' <br /> <br />Yes, you are. <br />And you always will be. <br /> <br />You are a lasting memory that will never be forgotten. <br />The sheer thought of not having you pains me, <br />But the prospect of losing memories of <br />You or your friendship pains me greater. <br />I will indulge myself in this pain, <br />For it is much sweeter a wound <br />Than one of forgetfulness and lovelessness. <br /> <br />'Talk to me. Aren't you happy I'm here? ' <br /> <br />Ah, yes. I am. <br />Nothing could make me any happier than I am now. <br />Just your presence here soothes me greatly. <br /> <br />'Why aren't you saying anything? ' <br /> <br />I just want to hear you voice. <br />It is the most beautiful sound in the world. <br />No symphony could match the intensity <br />Of which your voice excites me. <br /> <br />'I'm leaving.' <br /> <br />I have to say something. <br /> <br />'Wait. I-' <br /> <br />'Yes...? ' <br /> <br />'I need to be alone. Go away.'<br /><br />Jay M. Johar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-m-here-20/
