I CLOSE MY EYES

by Person needing assistance - Aquarius

I close my eyes,
I hate sad goodbyes,
though it makes it easier for me,
to stifle my cries.

When I see you leaving,
and walking away,
I want to beg you stay,
but pride gets in the way.

So I close my eyes,
and I try to forget,
try to repent,
and hope you forget, I exist.
I resist, temptation,
just a little revelation,
but----I still love you.

So I close my eyes,
to stop that tear,
running near,
my lips,
my cheeks,
my neck,
and my . . . 

Heart. 

I close my eyes,
because you are going,
knowing,
that I am longing.
For those strong arms,
to have wrapped around me.
I close my eyes,
To smell you.

And remember.

It was just last-----September.

When I closed my eyes.
And you loved me.
And I smelled your cologne.
Still in my clothes.
while we roamed. . .
just the two of us alone. . .

I close my teary eyes,
I hate sad goodbyes. . .
and foolish prides,
as we part in longing,
refusing to cry.

Reason for writing:

    Just a little--sumthin' sumthin'. You dig?
