I want you to be happy
but I hate the twinkle in her eyes.
I know you hate us smiling
you see him and your spirit dies.

I've seen the way you're falling,
I want to pick you up as well.
But I don't want you reaching,
like you reached for me each time I fell.

I can't bear to touch you
or to let you come near me,
I don't want to let you go,
I'm more in love that I want to be.

Charlotte. This is another of your "masterpieces" on love. I can so relate to what you write about. I think you mean "I'm more in love than I want to be" in the last verse. Hey. I make typos all the time particularly when I get passionate. I appreciate it when people tell me about them. I love your style. I love short and powerful poems. Thank you. Love and peace to you.
