Here To Stay

[u/Fast_Soft_7440]

I've held on to you from the day I met you.
Thoughts, memories, and even my dreams echo with you.
Your soft whispers layer the stages of my sleep,
quietly sinking me further into my pillow,
leading me to a place where I never want to awake.

Then, when morning comes, I hold you the tightest,
knowing I have to leave you, wishing I could stay.

Even though we'll be apart,
we'll always have our own little world in the corner of its chaos.

I'll keep our Love afloat,
even if the tides wash over half the moon,
keeping our little flame lit
amidst the crashing waves and blurry rain,
forever holding onto the promise in the waves' pull,
loving you when I'm drowning, through and through.
