John's POV

They were one-night stands. I highly doubt you're supposed to get attached during those or even feel something. So why was I feeling something I couldn't even describe?

Guess it's true; I'm not good at a one-night stand
But I still need love 'cause I'm just a man
These nights never seem to go to plan
I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand?

Did I love her? What the hell was I even feeling? It didn't feel like love. But something in me wanted her to stay more nights.

Oh won't you stay with me?
Cause you're all I need
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me

Something about her, I didn't know. I realized it's not love. But nothing felt right about having her leave in the morning. It just felt... right.. seeing her the next morning, having yet to go anywhere. I just wanted to hold onto her and have her stay. But if that isn't supposed to be love, then what?

Your POV

Why am I so emotional?
No it's not a good look, gain some self control

My life had grown increasingly confusing. I was falling into one-night stands where I actually felt something toward him. Not love, but something. There was this quality to him. It made me crazy. I was an internal wreck. Emotional. If I didn't gain control over myself, things would go bad. Emotional is never really good looking...

And deep down I know this never works
But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt

I knew getting attached to him was never going to work. One day we'd finally decide to stop our actions and we'd go on our own paths. We'd never see each other again. Maybe that was what was needed. Maybe I just needed to get my sh*t together.

But I couldn't get myself to do it. After every one-night stand, we found ourselves falling asleep next to each other, and then waking up in the morning with the other still there. It was almost comforting. It hurt less seeing him next to me when I fell asleep and woke up. But why?

Oh won't you stay with me?
Cause you're all I need
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me

Why did I want him to stay every night? I didn't love him, but something in me needed him. The reassurance in staying the whole night with each other was a pain killer. I didn't need anything else. I needed him. But how long would he keep staying?

Both's POV

I could keep doing this. I really could. If it meant waking up next to them, then it was worth it. I needed them. If they stayed, I'd be fine. But I don't love them. I don't love them. Yet one thing still bothered me...

...when will they just pack up and leave me alone again?

Oh won't you stay with me?
Cause you're all I need
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me

Oh won't you stay with me?
Cause you're all I need
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me
