I Asked Him To Leave Me Alone

I asked him to leave me alone.
I needed time to recover,
mend my broken heart.

With him around,
how could I stop hoping
that someday we would be
more than friends?

So he walked away,
without looking back,
without any care.

At times, I wonder about him.
If he is doing all right?
Does he miss me as much?

Does he ever try to return?
I know that day, he lost a friend too.
For even a second, did he feel the pain?

I asked him to leave me alone,
But I really wanted him to hold me tight
and say - We will overcome this together. ©
