don't ever leave me again... someday
don't come back until you're ready
but don't stay away a moment longer than that

a year is too short;
a month too long
stay with me forever - someday

tell me instead, why it is that you waver
do not be afraid to share
let us cohabit our private hells

a life is too short;
a second too long
stay with me forever - now

there are no second chances in life
just elongated stories
healed wounds and forgotten pain

together lingers too short;
and Alone is so long
stay with me forever - today

it takes time to hold another soul
time is gruesome in its revenges
but time is so patient in its healing

a yawn is too short;
a blink is far too long
stay with me in the twinkle of my eye
