To Love You

To love you was still so easy,
when we found shelter again
within encircling of our arms.

Although I knew so well,
it would not last forever,
I longed to linger longer.

Not to have to leave so soon,
to keep at bay the moment
to bid you farewell once again.

It was not you,
who deserted me, but I,
to let go of you,
lovingly, even needed.
