Hence

You wonder why I tell you I should leave?
I hear it in your voice. You'd rather be
With almost anyone who isn't me.
Don't think you can deny it, or deceive
My close attention. I know. I believe
You have some place to go, someone to see,
Something to do that isn't here. So we
Are absolutely clear, I will not grieve:
I only want the company of those
Who want to be around me. If you're here
Out of a sense of duty, don't be. I
Have better things to do, and this just shows
I ought to do them. Don't be insincere:
If you don't want to be here, say goodbye.
