I want you here
Near to me
Warm my bed
For me to hold
Long ago
My heart
You stole
We broke
Fell apart
Do we restart?
From the beginning
Once again
I want you near
I say
In my heart
I am afraid
Not so near dear
I dont want the pain
Maybe
On the shelf of my heart
You should stay
I will pull you out
Another Day
Love is not to be placed on a shelf or in a box.
Love is meant to be shown off in the most special of ways.

The essence of the poem is not about putting love away or not showing. It is about the struggle when a person is in the after breakup mode of wanting that person near but fearing the pain of hurt again. Deciding if they should be let back into their life.
