Stay
Keep my hands entwined with your own.
Keep my mouth lost for words as you pull me close.
Keep my lungs fighting for air.
Keep my heart with your own, and don't allow it to break.
Be my shield, be my sword.
My protection as I fight my battles.
Be my comfort, be my peace.
Hold me close when I cry these tears.
Don't leave me, don't abandon me.
When my time of need comes around,
Don't desert me.
Stay by my side in the morning,
at the first sign of daylight.
Stay with me in the evening,
and watch the sunset with its many colors together with me.
Be with me through the night,
allow me to feel your breath and your beating heart as I sleep.
I am fragile, but I will not back down
Until I have you in my arms once more.
I will bend until I break,
But I will never forget.
I loved you, you loved me.
Together we will watch ourselves grow strong.
And in the blink of an eye, we will realize
that what we have will never end,
even on the day we die.
