'Stay Now' by Jem

Stay now, stay now,
Just a little more,
Coz this love, this love,
Is what living's for,
Stay now,
Hide in bed, sheets overhead,
Blocking out the sun,
Feel like we are marooned at sea,
Away from everyone,


You should know better than anyone that I've fallen for you, but you too blinded by your own feelings to see. You don't and you're insane for going along with what you though we were doing. You really are crazy, you know that? But that's probably why I love you more than anyone else.

His hand snaked out and grabbed her writs as she tried to slip out of the bed without waking him. He knows she thought it was best to leave before he found her but now that the time has come he doesn't want to let her go.

You're insane, Letty, but, as I said before, maybe that's why I love you so much. You're not like anyone else and that's way I'm so attached to you. You weren't supposed to be anything to me, but it didn't turn out that way, did it?

Confused dark eyes fixed on his face, before flickering down to his hand and then back to his face. She had know what this was going into it, just a one time thing, and she had been willing to accept it if it meant she got to have just once.

You're special, Letty, so I think I want you around for a long, long time.

"Stay with me." A soft whisper in the half-light and she let him pull her back under the covers and tight to his body.
