Not Together
We're not together
But we're not apart
We're merely standing still
So close, yet so far
And you're everything I want
But you can't give me what I need
I love you but
You're suffocating me
And I don't want to cling
To this something when its no longer real
I have to let go
If my heart is to heal
Letting go is never easy
But I must if I am to be free

The song "Hold On Loosely" By 38 Special comes to mind when I read this. Sometimes the letting go is the hardest thing to do for the feelings run so deep. I particularly liked the first 4 lines for they set a nice tone for the rest of the poem.
