I Will Not Ask You To Love Me Again

i like you to have some principles now
when you say No, let it be, let it be No consistently
in the morning, till nighttime
let your No be No still

i will not ask you to love me again
because love is not a bargain not a burden
love is freedom

love is like the bird that yours hands set free
now let it be
let me be free too till night time till the world sleeps in its silence
till i am gone
till i am no longer myself to you
let it be

for now i also know how to sing the songs of freedom
for now i also know how to use your words

i am NO too, I am learning it then
so long!
