TO LEAVE, OR NOT TO LEAVE

Don't ask me to leave you!
It's only with you
that I feel the wind blowing through my hair
or can skate across the clouds.
It's only with you
that my soul screams "Wahooo!"
and my heart soars to unexplored heights.
It's only with you
that I feel this passion
that ravages my mind and leaves me senseless.

Don't you feel this passion too?
I know you do,-
maybe softer, less intense,
but I know you feel it too.
I know you can feel it.
I know it.
Don't lie to me,
I can see it in your eyes.
Why do you lie to me?
You want me to leave?
"Yes."
Why?... Why?...
Very well... it's not for me to question.
You want me to leave so I'll go.
I'll go.
But I know you can feel it too.
I know it.
I know you feel the same passion that I do.
But you wish me to leave.
So I will.
But only because you want me to.
I love you.
"You're lying!"
"I swear I'm not:("
"Fine. Then you're just like everybody else."
He let his hair fall over his eyes and she was powerless to stop him.
A single tear rolled down his cheek,
and then... he was gone.
