Stay Here With Me

I came so close
To getting my dream
So close to getting the perfect thing

But I let it go
And I cant get it back
I let it leave
And I felt sorrow way down deep

I thought my life would never mend
That all I had worked for
Was coming to and end

Then I saw you
The mask that you wore
I wanted to stay
Yet wanted to leave

I stayed by your side
As your faithful servant
Being there to help
Pick you up when you fall

I caught a glimpse behind the mask
The tears that clouded your eyes
Emotion filled your face
Too many to read each

Sadness for loss, and pain
Fear for what might happen next
Happiness for the friends that care
Distance so you wont get hurt

When your mad and all-alone
You hurt yourself to make it stop
To end the pain, only to bring more

I beg you to stop
But you wont listen
I wonder if you even care
Do you?

I'm scared that you'll leave
Leave your friends here
To wander the rest of the way
Leaving me just to fall

Maybe you'll stop trying
And just stop
Maybe for the people you love
Maybe just for me

I want you to stay here
Stay by my side
It's my own selfish wish
But I keep others in mind

Please stop
Please stay happy
Please show a real smile
Please stay here beside me-
Forever and for always
