Stay a Little Longer

The morning tastes like silence,

the clock forgot to move,

your eyes draw gentle circles,

like echoes from the truth.

The world keeps turning sideways,

the coffee’s growing cold,

and somewhere out beyond us,

a heart is getting old.

Stay a little longer,

just one breath, one spark of light,

let time get lost between us,

just hold me through the night.

Nothing fades,

as long as you remain —

stay a little longer.

Your shadow falls across my skin,

like words that lost their aim,

we whisper soft, then shout again,

and love forgets its name.

I count the hours backward,

I lose myself in you,

you smile, and for a moment,

the world feels pure and true.

Stay a little longer,

just one breath, one spark of light,

let time get lost between us,

just hold me through the night.

Nothing fades,

as long as you remain —

stay a little longer.

And when you go,

take me with the wind,

like dust that dances,

where we’ve been.

I’ll hold on tight

to all we are —

one final note,

one falling star.

Stay a little longer,

just one heartbeat, one last kiss,

the world may change around us,

but don’t forget like this.

As long as you will,

as long as I am still —

stay a little longer.
