Strong With You
by on April 27, 2004 in Poetry

Don’t ask me why I pull away
I don’t know what to say
I’ve spent a lifetime learning
To be strong on my own
I’m having trouble holding onto
Myself when I’m around you
Because I’m drawn to you
I’m drawn into you
I had a plan
I had a list that I would
Check off as I
Went through my days
Then I met you
On that night
And I threw that
List away
So now I’m going through
The garbage
Trying to remember what
I said I’d do
And I know
I need to look harder
But then I look at you
I’m going back and forth
I pull you in
Then push you away
And I don’t know why I do it
When I so want you to stay
To be the man to break me
Make me
Know that I can be
Just as strong with you
As when it’s only me
