As Long As I Don't See You Poem by Max Aljoszyn

Everything will be alright as long as I don't see you
I will be alright as long as I don't see you
My heart won't madly throb as long I don't see you
My stomach won't be twirling as long as I don't see you
My nerves will sleep in peace as long as I don't see you
My hands won't quietly shake as long as I don't see you

I try and love myself as long as I don't see you
I can do anything as long as I don't see you

As long as our eyes don't meet
This sour ice won't get to me

And just as long as long as I look away
My mind can reach a thousand ways
And I believe I'm free
As long as I don't see

As long as I don't hear
I can pretend I'm clear
In thought and in intention

As long as I don't talk
My fear's a word in chalk
And I can clean the board

So, after all I've said
Do I want to see or hear or talk to you?

Can I?

Please?
