Are You Leaving Again?

You and I are lovers
Cliché as it is, we’re soul mates
Perfect for each other
Privileged, and cursed
As we’ll always come back
To one another no matter
How much it hurts

But the times of you leaving
Have taken their toll
Upon my heart, and my soul
So forgive me for asking
As we lay sated in bed
But in the morning
Are you leaving again?

I can’t help but asking
Though I dread the answer I may get
For it maybe a ‘yes’
And that will tear me apart
Yet knowing if it’s a ‘no’
That I’ll always want to know
Are you leaving again?

We’ll fight again
But never break-up
Give each other the cold shoulder
But always make up
And still there are times
That I have to wonder
Are you leaving again?

Even as you hold me close
In the middle of the night
Your arm draped around me
The sound of your breath in my ear
The closeness of our bodies
And the smell of sex in the air
I close my eyes thinking…
In the morning will you still be there?

I told you before
You and I are lovers
Cliché as it is, we’re soul mates
Perfect for each other
And I just want to say
Don’t leave me waiting to long
Since the answer to

‘Are you leaving again?’

Will eventually turn into…yes.
