Identifying the source and target of poetic inspiration

Now, go.
Just turn around. You're fine.
You aren't really leaving me
behind.
I'll be here,
and you will be
half way gone
by morning.

You and I-
it couldn't work.
We really should've known
it wouldn't work.
And, yes, it was perfect.
And, yeah, it was fierce.
Don't forget
the way
we love.

Now, I will-
I'll grow up and get married.
And you will-
you'll grow up and
get married.
And you do your best to love her,
because you'll need it too.
But remember

how

we love.
