Come into my life

You’re welcome

Grab a glass

Let’s drink to us

As sparks fly

I’ll fix you a plate

Be comfortable

Consume as much as you want

The pleasure is mine.

If you like, you can stay

Be around, be here

Under soft furnishings

Soft as a petal

Which lay beneath us

Guiding you to my heart

You could be with me

Make a go of things

I really don’t mind.

I found you lost

Your way to me

Maybe I wasn’t clear

Maybe I played things cool

Maybe not overly captivating

Too little or too much

I don’t know where things unravelled

Is this what I get

For keeping the door open?

To find love

To fill the hole

To which your absence attests

I’ve been told to look within

Give myself what is lacking

Be the answer I seek

Have the starring role

Perhaps then you’ll come back

Although that isn’t the goal.

Did you not choose me

Because I hadn’t chosen myself?

It hurts my head to contemplate this

I don’t know

As one too many of you glide away

I crave your presence less

To deny the heart what it wants

Is a different injury but same pain

It’s me alone that I must tend to.

To close my heart

Or keep it open

To believe in love

Or to get a new perspective

To position myself

On love’s course

Whilst remaining light and joyous

To choose me, to choose me, to choose me

Whether you walk towards me or away from me

I will always know love
