Please stay

These are words I swore

You would never hear me say

But my darling I love you so

Please don’t leave me

I understand your leaving of me

Is just for a day

For you have promised

Close by my side to stay

For the rest of all time

When finally this world allows us to meet

I never thought you would hear me say

You now own

A space in my heart

I cannot surrender it to anyone else

For your love has opened spaces that were

Before

Locked shut so tightly within me

It seemed that only an effort of might

Would open them again some day

But darling now

As you take your leave

These words are what I long most to say

Please my love

I am begging you to stay

For I do not want to

See the sun rise

On yet another lonely day

I have to live

Without you
