Please Never Leave

What would you say if I took you away?
If I brought you along for one short day?
A lifetime with you would be ever so grand.
I wish just once you would understand.
The way I want you is not of lust.
I want you to love me with your trust.
Love renders no hope for if you leave.
I hope you don't leave. Please never leave.

What would you say if I never wanted you gone?
If I gave you my hand and hoped you held on?
For the past you have seen through my eyes.
I wish you saw this with no surprise.
The things I hid in hope you would not see,
you helped me through them and stayed with me.
Love renders no hope for if you leave.
I hope you don't leave. Please never leave.

What would you do if I let you go?
If I was left to fall toward the ground below?
Without hesitation you would catch my hold.
Helping me back past the dense, lonely cold.
I became yours never too lightly.
I held you close and you held me more tightly.
love renders no hope for if you leave.
I know you wont leave. You will stay with me.
