A single dry leaf
On the park bench.
I sat on it before the wind could take it away.
I heard it creak.
What have I done?
The wind could have taken it places,
But I wanted the leaf to stay.
I wanted the leaf to stay
Because I loved it.
I wanted to look at it;
To smell it,
To know its kind,
To see its broken ribs.
I love you,
So stay away from me.
Or I might crush you under me
And not let you fly
With the wind.
Stay away from me
Because I love you,
And my love can destroy you.
So let me love you
From afar
Through letters,
Through photographs.
I’ll let you go with the wind
Even if you don’t love me
Through letters,
Through photographs;
Because the wind
Brings more than one dry leaf.
But it also takes away every single one
Until I sit on them.
But no.
I love you more than others.
So I don’t care you stay with me.
But I care you be happy
Always.
So don’t love me through hugs, kisses.
Love with
With smiles,
Photographs,
Letters.
Love me
From afar.
