Wanderlust is a thing for me.
And it's a thing that consumes me
So much of the time
Love, I’m a nomad. A wanderer
Never settling for long
Never getting too close
Because that would make
The leaving all too painful
I would take you with me
But your roots have dug into the soil beneath your feet
And I would destroy you too easily
If I pulled you away from the life force you've entwined yourself with
So I’ll leave in the night if only to avoid your tears. I know they would tear my apart just seeing them drop from your eyes...
And should I come back around at some later time,
I hope you’ll forgive me.

This was so poignant and emotional! Loved your poem. I'm the kind that has her roots in too deep.
