What I meant

Once upon a summer day,

I asked you if you‘re here to stay,

I meant no hurt, nor pain or greif,

I only wanted not to weep;

from all the pain comes desperation,

drowing me, in vast emotion,

I can’t stand another day,

without knowing you’re here to stay.

I meant no hurt, nor anger or hate,

I just wanted not to wait;

another day, without you here,

upon my cheek, another tear.

I cannot lose you, not right now,

and everyday I ask myself how?

how did I get this luck on my side?

this time last year, I never laughed,

only cried.

You tell me that you’re here to stay,

it doesn‘t take the pain away.

You promise me, you’re on my side,

I cannot run, I cannot hide,

from love that runs, deep within,

the old scars upon my skin;

kissed and cherished, like never before,

I hope and I pray,

that you’re mine forever more.
