don’t wait for me

don't stay up for me tonight.
don't keep the light on.
don't leave a plate just for me.
don't expect to see me 
in the morning.
if you must love me eventually,
you may grieve me as well.
perhaps, in my absence 
you'll finally find 
what you've been looking for
and it won't bother you
if you have no one to tell.
