If I can make it through

This rough time

This time when you seem 

So distant 

I know to back away 

Pushing only drives you 

Further the other way

This fine line of knowing when

To stop and wait

It’s hard to hold all this love

It’s the love that gave me the

Strength to move mountains 

For you and because of you

Maybe this is what holds me

When I want so much to reach out 

For relief. 

Instead I will wait
