Please Don’t

By K. A. Tuhin

 Please don’t kiss me sweetly
Don’t place your hand on mine
When I know that I can’t be with you
When it’s only for a short time
 Please don’t hold me gently
And wipe away my tears
When all the while, by doing so
You’re confirming my worst fear
 Please don’t make me love you
Don’t let me lose control
We both know that someone else
Owns your body, heart and soul 
Please don’t tempt me quietly
When you know I can’t resist
Even if he is not in the room
The guilt, it will persist
 Please don’t break my heart
Don’t leave me all alone
Just to spend one moment with him
Talking on the phone
 Please don’t let him ruin
The relationship that we had
Remember all the good times
And wash what’s bad
 Please don’t make me miss you
Don’t make me start to cry
Without you there’s emptiness
Much bigger than the sky
 Please don’t ever forget me even when I’m out of sight
I hope in the end you’ll find the strength
To do what you know is right
