Stay

When I look at you
I see part of me.
But those piercing eyes
are infinity.

Not like mine
that are filled with dreams.
But to have you in them
is the most amazing thing.

There isn’t a thing about you
I’m not falling for.
Even through this mess
I’m still wanting more.

The first time we met
something in me knew
I wanted no one else
more than I want you.

But silence has fallen
since that incredible time
when you looked into my eyes
and your hand was in mine.

I was expecting the worst
because this is all too familiar.
But for what came next,
I wasn’t prepared to endure.

Long nights without you here
made one week feel like a year.
My heart raced, as did my mind.
Thinking about you so many times.

Anxiety at an all time high
Hope at an all time low.
One thing is for sure.
I’m not ready to let you go.

I’ve never fallen so hard
in so little of time.
But the commonalities we share,
it couldn’t feel more right.

You need to work on yourself
and I need to work on mine.
I didn’t know that would mean
you’d need to leave my side.

I know what this is.
I’ve been here before.
But I know you’re different.
You’re worth waiting for.

There’s something in your words.
that spark in your eye
that keeps me waiting,
and keeps my hope alive.

But this is the part
when you step away
and don’t return,
leaving me astray.

Nobody has been different,
but now we’re here today.
To the man of my dreams;
Please tell me you’ll stay.
