Possess me not

 

I long to love without regret,

  To be held tight without resent;

Yet even when my love is free,

  And healing vibes pour out from me,

My love is coveted and longed for more,

  Happy outcomes are not for sure.

 

Here’s my love,

  I’ll hold you, help you,

But possess me not;

  My soul is all I have as my own,

I will gladly share it,

  But can give it to no one.
