Sad Eyes

It can't end this way.
you working yourself to death.
me retreating into a fantasy world that i may never get out of.
you keeping yourself busy to avoid the pain of your solitude.
me denying that the pain even exists.
what are we doing ?
why aren't you with me ?
because missing each other is too much to take ?
because the thought of seeing each other again simultaneously makes us cringe
and sigh.
i wonder how you are.
i can feel it when you think about me.
how can you expect me to let go when your mind won't let you let go of me.
neither will your heart.
no matter what you try to do I am here to stay in one form or another.
tomorrow night i will walk the city streets,drinking a cup of coffee
and smelling the spring air.
but mostly i will be sighing because you won't be there to share it with
me.
if only to hold your hand....
