Haven’t heard your voice in ages <br />It’s almost as if my body aches <br />Missing you actually almost hurts <br />When I think I about it <br />I know that I can’t be there <br />For you <br />I try to reach you <br />But it’s just not enough <br />I’m scared, holding on best I can <br />Afraid that our love is drifting away <br /> <br />Your gift, I hold here in my hand <br />I read what I wrote <br />The words that are said <br />The meaning behind and through <br />I hope you can see <br />Then again, I think <br />Maybe I should let you go <br />I’m scared, slipping through my hands <br />Our love just may be drifting away <br /> <br />I know that if I let go <br />I’ll hurt you <br />I don’t want that, I hope you know <br />If I were ever to let you go <br />I’d be shattered too <br />At that point there’d be no one to catch me <br />When I think about it, about us <br />I simply get scared <br />Is our love drifting away? <br /> <br />January 14,2009<br /><br />Allysyn Bryant<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/drifting-away-6/
