If Only the Love Stayed

If only the love stayed
Love of devotion and grit
Why didn't the Love stay,
The Love I see best fit
You were here until you weren't 
Pushed through with all your might
You stayed until you couldn't
Maybe you were right
I ask for a lot, but I give so little
I understand you leaving 
Maybe I'm just too brittle
I wanted you here, in my arms and my head
I wish I could tell you, but some things are better left unsaid
If only the love stayed
We would be true and free
If only the love stayed
The unlawful love of you and me
