Don't Let Me Go

Getting ready to
walk out the door
and leave you without
a backward glance.
My heart shall always
remember you even though
it continues to break
because of it.
Yes I'll miss you,
but I'll survive and
eventually be okay.
Say you want me to stay,
say you can't live
without me.
That's all I need to hear.
Just to hear you say that
you love me
and don't want me to go.
My steps slow and
I pause at the door
praying to hear your
beckoning voice.
Please, I don't
want to leave.
I never have,
but I need
to be needed.
I need YOU to need me.
