Jay M. Johar - I'm Here

'I'm here, aren't I? '

Yes, you are.
And you always will be.

You are a lasting memory that will never be forgotten.
The sheer thought of not having you pains me,
But the prospect of losing memories of
You or your friendship pains me greater.
I will indulge myself in this pain,
For it is much sweeter a wound
Than one of forgetfulness and lovelessness.

'Talk to me. Aren't you happy I'm here? '

Ah, yes. I am.
Nothing could make me any happier than I am now.
Just your presence here soothes me greatly.

'Why aren't you saying anything? '

I just want to hear you voice.
It is the most beautiful sound in the world.
No symphony could match the intensity
Of which your voice excites me.

'I'm leaving.'

I have to say something.

'Wait. I-'

'Yes...? '

'I need to be alone. Go away.'
