"Do Not Think Badly of Me"
---------------------------------------

Do not think badly of me if I have to go
past where you have to stop
or if at times I seem to be in
some far distant country of my own;
do not believe that I don't want to be
where you are, for it is not so,
nor could it be when every joy I've known,
I've known through you.
No I would never go - given the choice.

I seldom tell you but you surely know
just how aware I am that every day
you have a choice - and chose to walk
with me along these roads I walk against
my will, willingly going where I am slow
to go, sharing a future we can only know
from ambiguous answers to half asked
questions.  I wonder if you really know
what strength your presence gives me.

And if in the far future there's a road
that I must walk alone in deepest silence;
then I will walk that road and know
your love walks with me.  Do not think
badly of me if I have to go past where
my words all stop; our love transcends
the things we think we know , and while
I breathe I will be whispering low, and
just below each breath, the words - I love you
