That's Why I Stay

Do I really have to keep writing you letters?

Love letters and poems to say

Why I really want you to stay

Why I need you to stay

Why I say what I say

To you means that I'll stay

But will you stay?

Will we meet in May

With the flowers blooming

The silver white petals,

a Magnolia tree glistening

by the light of the moon

Not yet? Maybe by June

That's why I stay.

I stay because one day

I think, I hope, I dream

that we will meet.

That you will become my

everything. That you will

love me the way

I need to be loved.

And I will love you

the way you need to be loved

And the way we know

each other's souls

That's why I stay

That's why I stay

love poems
