Poem: Questions

Where are you now, my dear?
Do you still feel for me?

Your absence makes me ache.
It always did.
But then I was far away.

Did you let me go forever
when I left?

I wouldn't blame you.

Are you afraid of risking the pain of departure
again?
Is this all in my mind?
Am I imagining you now
as someone you never were?
Maybe I am just being selfish,
thinking only of myself?

I do not want to harm you again.

Do you think of me,
as deeply,
as often,
as I do you?

For your sake
I hope not.
