when you leave

​Being closer to you
brings me comfort, 
but not only that.
It also adds a different
meaning to my life, and
moves me forward to achieve
more in life, and moreover, 
also inspires me to become
a better person, 
so that I can fully
deserve what you represent.

In contrast, 
when I see you leaving, 
for a moment it resembles me
the first days in school when
there was that fear that
mum would not come back
to pick me up.

Nevertheless, the view
of you leaving, also triggers in me
an invigorating feeling
filled with the certainty that
your departure is nothing
but temporarily, and
with no time at all
you’ll be back to
my arms and my life again.
The place where I don't want
you to leave for nothing.
