that you know now
Be bold and in love
Not mine to have
His word is all I want
Take what you own
Have me too
Just stay
***
New to give
True to pine for
What joy we have seen
The end of the old
Time is not real
***
Did you ever
Know what we are
In your mind
You just have to
Stay here
***
My dear, we are but a fool
In love
Pen your name
In my skin
You can stay with me.
***
Not just in my mind
A plea for all of you
To stay here
For the love of all that is true
Stay with me
