If It Is Going To Be Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If it is going to be,
Just you and me.
Then let it just be,
You and me.

Don't let me see you with another.
Someone you introduce...
As your sister.
Or your brother.
While something else goes on,
Behind my back and undercover.

If it is going to be,
Just you and me.
Then let it just be,
You and me.

Don't let me go through sleepless nights,
Wondering if you are okay.
And things between us...
Don't quite feel so bright and 'tight'.
And you call me to say...
You are on your way.
And it's another day...
When you tell me,
'Business got you delayed'.

Right then you plant seeds...
Of one who betrays.

Right then,
Without you saying it...
I knew you had strayed!

If it is going to be,
Just you and me.
Then let it just be,
You and me.
Or leave!
