Hold it

When I am angry

I am sharing my pain

and asking you to

hold that for a while

with me, just the way

when I am happy

I am sharing my joy

and asking you to 

bask in it for a while

with me. But then

my friend, my love,

my adored, if

I disappear for a while –

all I am asking is that

you understand

the sadness that 

made me retreat.

In it all, – I do not

wish to be corrected,

but asking you to 

hold on, holding it all,

with me.
