I can't stop you from leaving <br />I can't make you change your mind <br />Your heart is set on soaring <br />Just come back to me in time <br /> <br />I'm on a deserted island here <br />and you're sailing on the ocean waves <br />as we say our sorrowful goodbyes <br />Please come back to me to stay <br /> <br />There's a question I can never have answered <br />and that's why you would want to leave me alone <br />No matter what transpires please promise <br />me this-Please come back home <br /> <br />Even if it's weeks, months or years <br />Please let me know, I'm just dangling <br />I can't quite function without knowing <br />when you'll be coming back to me <br /> <br />I'll wait for you by my bedroom window <br />I'll imagine you flying here by shooting star <br />I can watch the hour hand as it ticks <br />Just come back to me as you are <br /> <br />Through the pages of anguish I write <br />Across the bodies of water that rush forever <br />Convince me of only one thing. <br />Just promise me that we'll be together <br />Please come back to me<br /><br />Caroline Guedes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/come-back-to-me-16/
