Stay?

If you ever see this: Come back to me

We sit 

Foreheads frozen together 

As we breathe in sync

You say: 

“I don’t want to let you go” 

I say:

“I don’t want you to go” 

What you don’t say is 

“Ask me to stay” 

What I dont say is

“Please stay” 

The innevital 

It always seems to arrive too early 

And despondacy circlualtes my body 

Trying to find an outlet other than my eyes 

Which have been raining since you left 

What do you say the end?

What do you say when you need it not to be? 

You said 

“I messed up my plans for you” 

You said 

“I’ve never met anyone like you before ” 

I said 

“Your the first person I’ve never lied to”

I said 

“I’m glad you came-  

but I know you have to go” 

But what I wanted to say was

“What if we tried?”

What if you called and I called 

And I visited 

What if it was just as good ?”

But it didn’t leave my mouth 

I wanted to say 

“You made me different”

I wanted to say 

“I forgot what this felt like- 

I thought I was too jaded”

But I didn’t. 

Instead I said

“I miss you already”

With tears steaming down my face in the tube

And you kissed them away 

You kissed them away

And I want to know if you left anything unsaid 

But I don’t ask 

Because if your going to leave 

Then leave

But god I wish you’d stay 

So I could say all the things I should have said 

All the things I wanted to say 

But I’m scared of what you’ll say back

Faces pressed against each other 

Hands holding on tight for fear of the moment they have to let go 

Breathe in

Breathe out 

If our going to leave 

then leave 

But please stay. 

 Even with all those miles in between 

Stay?
