Isolation is an act of love

Relationships
Written By Clair Heaviside
 

I love you so I will not see you

I love you so I will leave you alone

I love you so I will allow the roads between us

to remain empty

I love you so I will not visit

I love you so I will cancel our plans

I love you so I will not go to the shops and the bars

and the parks we used to walk

I love you so I will miss your birthday

I love you so I will keep us apart

I love you so I will not be there to hold you 

when you are afraid

I love you so I will let you be lonely

I love you so I will always be here.
