Stay, Please Stay

For all this time that you stayed,
Would it be so selfish of me
to wish for this to never end?

Stay, please stay…
Another day, another week,
another lifetime…
No matter when and where
in this world and beyond.

Stay, please stay…
I cannot be when you are not,
I cannot be where you are not.

Stay, please stay…
Time and space hold no power,
for even life itself cannot end and
dare not break what we have.

Stay, please stay…
Hold my hand like you did
the first time a lifetime ago.
Do you know that I still
remember the feeling?

Stay, please stay…
Don't let me go
Let's watch the seasons change
and fate make its way,
until its my turn
to close my eyes
and breathe my last
in this world.
