i am not
going to let you go
you can stop
think for some time
consider your options
mull over every
pro or con
rest your weary mind
move away for a while
i'll give you
your space
if that's what you need
but i won't
ever let you
walk away from me
not today
not ever
not in this lifetime

i am holding
on to you
with both hands
i am never,
do you hear me?
never
giving up on you
