You Don't Want to Hurt Me?

If you Love me
long enough
hard enough
deeply enough
Then there is no hurt you can cause me
however inadvertently
that we cannot heal
together or alone.

If, however,
you cannot find it within you
to Love me
that much
then there can be no action
no intent
no healing you can provide
that could seal the wound
that lack would leave.

So you see,
the only way through this
(and still have a chance
of succeeding in your desire
to not hurt me)
is forward.
