Footsteps

I am sad,
but not even this lasts,
very long,
a man of the world,
and
a man of the soul,
one has to go,
in order for me, to grow,
please, help me, take a step,
love me for who I am,

for a second,
and I promise,
to do the same.
Though we may part,
I carry you along within my heart,
and the shame is that,
we can't have it all.
So let me go into the wilderness,
of my soul,
and if in divine plans,
I shall return again,
with more to taste.
