Stay By You.
I saw you with her,
The one you really love.
I may have been too blind to hope,
You'd consider loving me.
Before you, I was average.
After you, I had purpose.
I know that you loved each other.
I had hoped one day we'd be together,
But seeing her and seeing you
Unable too, to be as one,
I don't want to intrude.
I know you do care for me, maybe platonically,
But you care for her deeper still.
And to this busy heart of yours
I ask you now,
May I stay by you?
I'm not asking for you to love me,
But without you, I lose myself.
I might like to think you need me too,
As you do sometimes do, to fix your haughty ways,
So for me and perhaps for you,
May I stay with you?
When I know you'll be all right,
And you'll have your love to be your light,
That's when I'll know to leave.
But for now, this very moment now,
May I stay by you?
I saw you with her,
The one you really love.
I may have been too blind to hope,
You'd consider loving me.
Before you, I was average.
After you, I had purpose.
I know that you loved each other.
I had hoped one day we'd be together,
But seeing her and seeing you
Unable too, to be as one,
I don't want to intrude.
I know you do care for me, maybe platonically,
But you care for her deeper still.
And to this busy heart of yours
I ask you now,
