Promise You Will Be Here
Just believe you will still be here
When I will be here too.
That I will heal sufficiently,
To see you come right back to me.
I want to be with you.
Don't leave me all alone, I fear
A life without your laugh.
I want us wheeze in unison,
No end while we have just begun...
I know, I am no seer.
Nor am I healer, or confessor,
I'm just this loving kid,
That crossed your path one day,
No bigger, but smaller, lesser.
Had no idea we'd fit
Like fingers in a glove.
Please say:
"I'll be here when you return,
I'll stroke your back, I'll kiss you,
I'll be here because I yearn,
Because I love...
I love you".
Just believe you will still be here,
Because you want to be with me.
I'll smoothe the creases in your brow,
Wipe away your fear.
If only please...
Promise you will be here,
That when I wake you'll be near.
My virtual arms can hold us,
We both fit there so nicely,
Be here, for you, for me.
