I want you to stay

Because I wear my heart on my sleeve,

And I’ve had it broken many a times,

By relying too much, or sometimes too little,

Or letting my hopes fly too high,

Like a raging wildfire..

Before you came by

And you showed me..

That it was ok..

to expect people to love you

The way you would do,

To feel a lil desperate or anxious

Or even ugly and unwanted at times,

Cuz these things make me who I am,

And that I love myself enough,

To expect the same from others.

And I want you to stay,

Cuz I want you to be my constant

In an ever changing world,

I want you to stay,

Cuz I can’t let you go,

I want you to stay,

For an infinite number of reasons,

But most importantly,

I want you to stay,

Cuz I’m not done loving you yet.
