Wish You Would Stay

I'd like to know when we will meet,

So I can find a place for all my words,

I also savour the surprise,

To not know when you're nearing,

Eyes slowly widen,

Truth sets in,

What makes you wait to be begged for,

What makes you rush in before you're welcome?

I wish you would stay,

A little longer,

I'm not quite ready to leave,

I wish you could stay,

A little longer,

There's so much more that we could see,

If you would just stay,

Do you cherish your entire collection,

Hold each of them close in a special place,

Does it bother you to be so feared,

Hated and avoided,

It must've been so lonely all those years,

You've held some of those most dear to me,

Do you still hold them close like I so wish I could?

Like I wish you would stay,

A little longer,

I'm not quite ready to leave,

I wish you would stay,

A little longer,

There's so much more that we could see,

If you would just stay,

A little longer,

I'm not quite ready to leave,

I wish we could stay,

A little longer,

There's so much more that we could see,

If you would just stay.
