All is silent except Sam’s voice coming from the CD.
We lay on my bed staring at the ceiling.
I close my eyes, listening to you breathing.
I open my eyes to find you now sleeping.
A smile creeps on my face while I slip into a dream.
I feel your arms wrap around me.
This is how I want to be.
Please stay with me until
We can no longer see or breathe.
All I need is for you to love me.
I want to see what life can be
Whether or not we cross the sea.
The light begins to fade
While we lay on the bed I made.
We talk about anything
While my fingers begin to play.
I run them across your skin
And which each sound it makes me grin.
I torture you to make you laugh
And try to tackle me.
As you disable me,
We start laughing like crazy.
You look down and kiss my mouth.
This is how I want us to be.
Please stay with me until
We can no longer see or breathe.
All I need is for you to love me.
I want to see what life can be
Whether or not we cross the sea.
The moon is shining bright.
It’s very cold tonight.
You hold on to me
Even though it’s time to leave.
I tell you goodbye.
As I climb up the stairs
I try not to cry.
I miss you when you’re gone
Even though it’s not for long.
I cannot wait for us to have
A home of our own.
Please stay with me until
We can no longer see or breathe.
All I need is for you to love me.
I want to see what life can be
Whether or not we cross the sea.
