I don't want you to leave again. I can't live without you. I don't want to lose you again. I don't want to hear the words "for a season." Nor "maybe." I thought that. You say that, for a season, we cannot see us and then you disappear. But no one can know if you will return. I have no certainty. Maybe you never come back. It is possible that I get to the end of my days without having reunited you. And that is unbearable to me. Everything around me loses its meaning

The speaker expresses deep emotional turmoil over the fear of losing a loved one. They wish for certainty in their relationship, dreading the possibility of separation and the ambiguity of phrases like "for a season" or "maybe." This uncertainty leaves them anxious, as they realize the potential of never reuniting with their partner, which fills them with dread.

The profound connection they share is such that the absence of their loved one makes life feel meaningless. The speaker reflects on how the unpredictability of love and separation can lead to unbearable feelings of loss and longing. Their heartfelt plea illustrates the pain of attachment and the struggle to cope with the fear of future solitude.
