Stay

Stay.
Before it is the break of dawn, stay.
Sit next to me, let my heart mourn, stay.

These eyes,
I can’t just lift them up.
Please drop your gaze,
And turn your face
To the other side
And let me hide
My tears. Stay.

My breath is heavy,
I can’t just talk.
Come close to me
And let me be
Engulfed in your arm
So serene, so calm,
So safe. Stay.

Tomorrow, you know
The day will see
A different you
And a different me.
The spell will break,
The promises fake.
For tomorrow you know
We will part ways.
Until it is another day, Stay.

To be together, there ain’t a way.
I know.
I know.
I know.
But stay.
