*drifting Away =( Poem by Allysyn Bryant

Haven’t heard your voice in ages
It’s almost as if my body aches
Missing you actually almost hurts
When I think I about it
I know that I can’t be there
For you
I try to reach you
But it’s just not enough
I’m scared, holding on best I can
Afraid that our love is drifting away

Your gift, I hold here in my hand
I read what I wrote
The words that are said
The meaning behind and through
I hope you can see
Then again, I think
Maybe I should let you go
I’m scared, slipping through my hands
Our love just may be drifting away

I know that if I let go
I’ll hurt you
I don’t want that, I hope you know
If I were ever to let you go
I’d be shattered too
At that point there’d be no one to catch me
When I think about it, about us
I simply get scared
Is our love drifting away?
