Still

Time stops when I am with you.
As if the world is not spinning
and everything else is still.

I am devoid of all care
that the world is moving on
and I won't be able to catch up.

You freeze me, you feed me.
You shield me from what is around me.
With you I exist happily in total oblivion.

Away

Away from me, your back you turned
Devastation became me
Come back, I whispered but not pleaded
But resolution became you

Away from you, I had to thrive
I can but wish you can't
Away from me you couldn't bear
A prayer left unanswered

Notice not, I did.
Away from you, I did quite well

But now,
Away from me, you could not bear
Steps were small,
Yet now, you're here...

Myself thought then, this was my wish
Yet not the same, now things are
You're here but not the same you were
So now you hurt me still.

And...
Away from you, I want to be.
