Let Me Stay

“Love, it never dies. It never goes away, it never fades, so long as you hang on to it. Love can make you immortal”
― Gayle Forman

Let me stay, 

Just one more day.

Let me see who I can help today.

A loving touch,

A gentle hand.

Let me search throughout the land.

Let me stay,

Just one more day,

To help someone along their way.

A hungry child,

a lonely heart.

Let me give them a new start.

Let me stay,

I beg of you.

Please, let me stay, 

To start anew.

Let me stay, 

Just one more day.

One more sunrise,

One more chance at play.

A lot to ask,

By chance at best.

If I can stay,

I'll help the rest.

Please, if you can,

Please, let me stay.

Just let me stay,

Just one more day.
