No I won’t go away

 I will cross your mind every day.

  Even when you’re mad you can’t push me to the dark corners and shadows like I never existed.

 I will dance in your daydreams my smile on replay.

 You tried it though staring at your phone wondering if you should call me.

  Will you deal with rejection finding out you may be blocked, the length of time we’ve been apart, I may have found someone else.

 Driving yourself crazy.

 You can’t forget me.

 I curled up inside the dark places filling them with light.

 I made the chaos uncomfortable.

 I won’t go away.

 I will flow with you as you move about, in a brief moment you may rest your eyes and you will imagine me sitting by your side with my hands rubbing your head you release that content sigh.

 All is right in the world until you open your eyes and realize it was a memory, of me and you in unison entwined in each other’s arms embracing the whole of the galaxy.

 For when we entwine we can hold our faith in our arms.

 when we entwine we create a divine intervention that alters both our realities.

 Our destiny soft spoken as we whisper to each other promises of a great future.

 I will set your body on fire when you think of my touch igniting the flames of passion within you.

 A powerful blaze that can only be extinguished with the healing waters of my devine energy, cascading down your throat chakra.

 Cooling your heart chakra.

  Charging your solar plexus.

 Filling your sacral chakra with blissful nectar.

 Providing you with longevity, giving your root chakra the heavenly release it deserves.

 In the silent moments, I will glide through your heart.

 Increasing your blood circulation.

 Blowing more oxygen in your lungs.

 I won’t go away. 

You will smell my scent on your t-shirts, accusing yourself of tripping because the shirts have been washed more than once.

 I will tip toe across your chest when you lay down for bed at night.

 Your arm reaches out searching to pull me closer.

 You toss and turn I was a phantom in your dreams.

 You hear my voice pounding against your eardrums.

 No I won’t go away.
