You need less

I’m not too much

I’m just too much for you

I shimmer like gold

I’m that rare

You can’t take your eyes off me

You wish you could hold me

Stop the vein from forking

Like a raccoon who can’t let go

You’ll bite your own arm off first

It doesn’t bother me

I’ve seen it happen all my life

Everyone wants to get close to the sun

Then they miss the heat

They make excuses for my absence

There isn’t one

I can’t give you an explanation either

If you’re where I am then you’ll be with me

I don’t let anyone get burned beyond recognition

You might leave a different you

But I didn’t destroy you

I can slow dance away

Bottle up the relationship

We had different names for it anyway

What you are to me

I’ve never been to you

Appreciate the time we had

So one of us does

It’s not that I don’t cherish moments

I just know there’s more coming

If you have a nickname from me

I won’t forget you

I won’t recognize you anymore

But I won’t forget the you that was with me

Friendships

Relationships

Partnerships

All meant to sail away

Break the champagne and light the fireworks

Celebrate the voyages ahead

Bon voyage with love
