I Will Not Die of You

pain and joy

cannot be separated

like tomorrow and today.

so...

i miss you.

i would give you everything

but

the freedom to grow

away from me.

i couldn't tie a ribbon around it

even if i wanted to.

the pain of loving

has outweighed joy.

but,

i never die of love.

i warn you... i will not die of you.

i will not die of you.

though i am fragile...

i will not die of you.
