ii. she

as we lay there under the sky
i ask you why?
why are you so afraid of life?
its powers, hopes and dreams?
i touch your face
and it seems you've gone to stone,
i feel sometimes that you dread to be alone
i hold your hand
and you walk away
but i want you to know that i will always be here with you
i promise i will stay
so sleep tonight and forget those nightmares
they know nothing of what they preach
just please don't leave me out of your reach
you tell me sometimes you wish you could die
but then how can you stay and fly?
life is filled with passion sometimes obscure
sometimes there just isn't a cure
but please stay so we can remain
the you and i of yesterday
please forgive me for my most childish manners
all i want is to be by your side
as we lay there together i think
i sigh
i want to remain forever like this
just you and i
