Myself Poem by Casey Jarrell

Oh, why do I love you so? There's nowhere for me to go.
Drowning in these tears, I believe you'll see me through!

As I close my eyes, I'm reminded of a time so so long ago, joined as one, when our voices harmonized.
You and I were closer than can be.
Living in a blissful dream, love was born instantly.

Who would guess we'd go our separate ways to this day?
The pain revealed with all of my fears.
Were the two of us both the same?
And we never realized love was right there all along.

Oh, why do I love you so? There's nowhere for me to go.
When I hear your voice ringing in my mind, my will's not my own.
Those words that supported me were yours or were they a dream?
Even though we're far apart, I want to know.

I was lost when I was so very young.
You were always there when I was in need.

'It's okay to be afraid' you said to me.
Are the two of us both the same?
Someday, I will save you.

Oh, why do I love you so? There's nowhere for me to go.
When I hear your voice ringing in my mind, my will's not my own.
Those memories will never leave me.
When you're with me, I'm not alone.

Oh, why do I love you so? there's nowhere for me to go.
When I hear your voice ringing in my mind, my will's not my own.
Those words that supported me were yours or were they a dream?
Even though we're far apart, I want to know.

Oh, why do you touch me so? You're the only one who gives me hope.
Clinging to lonely dreams, your voice will always be with me.
