I wanted to stay, in your warm embrace,
To feel your love surrounding me like a protective grace.
I wanted to stay, wrapped in your arms,
Safe from the world's chaos and harms.

I wanted to stay, lost in your eyes,
Where all my worries and fears would surely die.
I wanted to stay, in your sweet whispers,
That filled my heart with love and made my soul glisten.

But reality pulls me away,
And I must leave, even though I long to stay.
I'll carry your love with me wherever I roam,
And know that in my heart, you'll always have a home.

So I'll cherish the moments we shared together,
And hold on to the memories that will last forever.
I wanted to stay, but I'll carry you with me,
And know that in your love, I'll always be free.© cynfully
