You, and Only You

You, and only you
That's all I want
All I would ever need

I'm sure you could find someone more then I will ever be
and yet you choose to stay with me

Even in the rain
you put it in my brain
that you love me and only me
but how could that be?

Because there are girls who are prettier
and wittier
and seem to have everything together
but I always change, like the weather

I was surprised when you decided to stay 
even on the grey days
and the days where I just sit and cry 
you come and lay with me and stay,
and in that moment I don't ever want you to leave

So please don't leave 
but I need my room to breathe
I need you 
so feed me with your love, 
all you have, 
so for one little moment 
I don't need to worry
about you leaving me 
for one of those girls 
who have no personality
so in reality
I say with all my vocality 
Please just stay.....

Hi Pailey, I really like how you have described the emotion of insecurity within this poem and then the positivity, well written. :))

I find you work so thought provoking and it is true, how funny love is and how it makes you feel! For me I sometimes feel of unworthy of the honor to be loved. Am so happy be the only woman he desires. Please continue to write and express this feeling.
