Could you maybe stay
A few more seconds so I
Can hold onto this
Warmness I feel when
I'm in your chest and burn it
In my memories
So when you leave I
Can remember your touches
When I am alone
Could you maybe talk
A few more minutes so I
Hear in your voice
The excitement on
A topic you're passionate
About and I can
Learn so much about
Who you are as a person
And feel you smile
Could you maybe look
At me a few more hours
I love your brown eyes
How they look at me
In awe hungry for my skin
To be touching yours
And I hope that you
Feel the excitement the rush
And it never dies
Could you maybe call
Every few days because you
Want to hear what I
Have to say as much
As I love hearing highlights
About your week and
We could share secrets
Ones we seal away with a
Kiss and never tell
Could you maybe last
A few more months possibly
Years or a lifetime
Never grow tired
Of all my phases and my
Moodiness but you
Know just how to make
Me laugh cheer me up on my
Bad days when tired
Could you maybe stay
A few more seconds so I
Know that you won't go
Away easily
That you don't plan on leaving
As fast as you came
Because with you I'm
My safest happiest self
Because you exist
