Dear Stephen

You're still my bad habit

My dark little secret

My illicit unseen drug

My secret hidden love

Dear, Stephen, please come back to us

I believe in repentance and forgiveness

It's so easy to hate, it takes guts to be kind

To paraphrase one of your heartbreak lines

I'm still ill

I'm cursed to stay

Under your spell for all my days

I'm still a prisoner to you and Larkin

Even as your history darkens

Dear, Stephen, please come back to us

I believe in repentance and forgiveness

It's so easy to hate, it takes guts to be kind

To paraphrase one of your heartbreak lines

I've been the boy with the thorn in his side

I want you vivid in your prime

Dear, Stephen, please come back to us

I believe in repentance and forgiveness

It's so easy to hate, it takes guts to be kind

To paraphrase one of your heartbreak lines
