I DID NOT WANT YOU

I DID NOT WANT YOU
© Farouk Asvat

I did not want you
to leave your world
to come to me.

I could not
leave my world
to come to you.

You did not want
to leave your world
to come to me.

Now I want
to leave my world
to come to you.

But you do not want me
to leave my world
to come to you.

     If only I were not afraid
     of losing you then
     because I did not want to know
     the pain of being with you

     If only you were not afraid
     of receiving me now
     because you do not want to know
     the pain of having me
