You Don't Let Go of Me
You dont let go of me: O my dear love, you dont let go:
Your heart dont let go: when I have felt as if I was slipping down, dont let go:
In the questioning nights, in the questionable days, when I reached out for something to hold on to, dont let go:
You were always there: somehow always there: you, my love, without words, in joyous silence:
So that I have got so I depend on you: feeling that I cant fall beyond your providence:
You have so surely forgiven me: when I deserved to be turned away, have welcomed me:
You have so surely made less instead of more of my sins: so surely made more instead of less of my virtues:
You have so surely overlooked what you could not help but see: the blots, the inexcusable shadows: overlooked them all:
You have so surely not weighed me and measured me but have so surely just loved me: so surely, so surely:
Which has made it so that I have faced life and its disasters without being too much worried whether they went big or little:
Knowing that no result could be the worst result as long as your love lasted: no result: not the worst:
Seeing that I could not drop too far below for you to reach to me and pull me back: though dropping far and far below not dropping too far:
You, my savior lover: you, whose heart has said its heart's say to me once for all and stood by it:
You, refusing to ask whether I was worth it or not: you, refusing to let me go: worth it or not, refusing:
You, you, you, O darling: you, refusing to let me go.
It has seemed that same way with God, O brothers: yes it has: that same way:
God dont seem to want to let me go, either: God seems to hold on to me the same:
In all my wilful neglect of myself has not neglected me: in spite of my delays has waited for me to come:
Something way off in the heavens sent to me way here on the earth at the last minute to even up the fates:
Making the life which hardly seemed worth while living over again in images of larger import:
Tempting me to my feet once more: encouraging me to a new start: firing me with fresh flame:
God, love, delusion, beyond somewhere, within, taking command when I dropped the wheel: pulling the ship around:
God, making me feel at home: the alien despairs vanishing: I giving up but God not giving up:
So often, so often: when I felt there was nothing more to do finding the mysterious things mysteriously done for me:
Lifted out of myself, out of the pit, to a high place: oh, up, eternally up, to where I may hear and see my brothers again:
It has seemed that way with God: when I was about to finish God only seemed about to begin:
Just as it seemed that way with my dear love — that when I was all done with myself she was just commencing with me:
Has seemed just that way with God: has seemed just that same way with my dear love: that same way: always that same way.
When I say God you shake your head and say nothing: you do not see:
When I say my dear love you shake your head and say nothing: you do not see:
And then you say: you must tell us how that is: how God is: how your dear love is: we do not see:
And then you say: you must show us how that is: how God wont let go: how your dear love wont let go: we do not see:
But I cant tell you how it is: I do not know how: I only know that it is:
But I cant tell you how God is, how my dear love is: I only know that they are:
And I do not need to prove anything that is: I only need to prove the things that are not.
I live in God: I do not need to prove that which I live in: no: living in it is enough:
I love in my dear love: I do not need to prove that which I love in: no: loving in it is enough:
And though your questions puzzle me God does not puzzle me and my dear love does not puzzle me:
I feel them as they sustain me: I feel them as they surround me: I feel them and I am satisfied:
I dont think I would be so convinced of God if I had to go looking for God and verifying God:
Or of my dear love: I would not be so convinced of my dear love if I had to go about looking for her and verifying her:
It is not having to turn God and my dear love into a rule that makes God and my dear love infinitely precious and conclusive:
I let you count it all up in figures or deny the figures: you: I am not interested:
If you get anything out of figures all well and good: but I dont think I could ever get God or my dear love out of figures:
When I say God, when I say my dear love, I have said enough: there is no more to be said:
When I say that God wont let go of me, when I say that my dear love wont let go of me, I have said enough: there is no more to be said.
O my dear love: you dont let go of me:
I let go of myself: I give myself up: I slip down, down: oh! where will I stop?
But you will not let go of me: you do not give me up: no matter where I slip to you still hold on to me: you do not give me up:
No matter where death threatens to take me to life still holds on to me:
No matter where hate threatens to take me to love still holds on to me:
Your life, dear love: your life holds on to me: your love, dear love: your love holds on to me:
O my dear love: you dont let go of me.
