Do I enter your thoughts
Now and again?
Do you replay the moments,
The tenderness
That satisfied your yearning,
Until comfort let you
Throw it all away?
Do you think of me
Sometimes,
And wonder?
How it might have been,
If other Gods
Hadn’t swept you away?
If work wasn’t your master,
If you weren’t enslaved
By all the things you thought
You’d be,
You wanted to become?
You travel a solitary path,
Motivated to conquer,
To achieve the things you want to see
Scrawled behind your name.
I’ve come to terms with this
But all I ask is one thing:
Next time you seek a partner,
Search deep inside yourself
Ask honestly:
Do I want to share my life,
Or keep on going,
Blissfully,
Alone, but sort of dragging
An unwilling sidekick
Along?
