How can it be
that you can’t be with me

Is it a matter of choice
or just blind circumstance

Am I so much less than
that I can’t find a true love

Someone to love me for me
and not just a weekend freebie

How can it be
That I can’t just say no

A string I can not tether
an albatross around his neck

A person who despises
being apart the same as me

One who declares
all the love in his heart

Who isn’t still seeking
that which is home waiting right now

If the fates were different
if time didn’t move so fast

Perhaps it would be me
in your loving arms at last
