s t a y i n g

’cause i’m too scared

not to,

’cause coffee and music

’cause words and the infinite ways

to assemble them

’cause sunshine and friendship

’cause white wine and good books

’cause wild flowers and chocolate

’cause pink skies and soft lips

’cause what if i’ll give a few children

some confidence

’cause i don’t want to lose it

’cause i don’t like to miss out

’cause i know it can differ

and change and shift

within seconds

and it only lasts one moment

anyways

and i couldn't leave you behind

just yet.
