Love Poem: Walking Away

Walking Away

You'd ask yourself whether this is real
Are you ready to seal this deal? 

But you've walked away
To pray...
Confusingly, you didn't stay!
Communicate!
Is that not the way?

And if we go our separate ways
I wont regret that I brought you to my school on those days
I won't regret I said I love you and it was real
... The love that we say we feel

Perhaps it was love
But it's truth may be questionable
Perhaps the one above 
Will show us our love is inevitable

But you've walked away!
And left me alone
Just to pray on your own...
Where was your heart!
When you find it,
Use it to bring us together
Not drive us apart

(Based on an incident in Sea Point on an evening when the subject of the poem walked away)
