Stay a while.


Stay a while and love me
Whilst you've nothing else to do.
Be comfortable by my side
Until that comfort makes you squirm
And wriggle to get away, to be free,
Free to spread your wings.
For one day soon you will fly from me
Searching for love's ideal.
I am not that which you seek,
For you love must be more glamourous,
More solid to the touch.
So that you may cling to it desperately
And knowing you, you will find it.
So my happiness in your embrace
Is tinged with sorrow,
For I know you will follow your heart one day.
So until that day when tenderness falls from sight
Just stay a while and love
As much as I love you.
