Don'T Leave
When you leave,
take me with you
When you close your eyes and begin to drift,
I'll curl up next to you,
right there on the narrow bed
Let the others complain...
I'll drown out the sounds of the machines whirring and the footsteps coming and going with my whispers
We'll talk about the days of wine and kisses and walks among the wild daisies and dancing leaves
And with every squeeze of our fingers clasped together, our lips will remember meeting in random places that bear the imprint of our love forever
Your heart beats my name and mine beats yours
It's our song, can you hear it?
No one else needs to understand, do they?
Not now
Please don't leave me behind
I'll grow so tired from endlessly looking for you and listening for the sound of your voice
I'm frightened I'll forget what its like to feel alive without you as my guide,
right by my side
When you leave,
take me with you
and we'll walk together through the dark starlit alleyway that calls to you
You can show me the way and leave me a key to where you'll be
And promise to stay until I arrive
Don't leave...
