Torn Between Two Worlds

Do me a favor?

Stay gone awhile longer

Don’t rush right back

There’s more sights to see

So don't start to pack

Just a few more days?

Can you spare me that?

For I know when you return

So will that ache in my chest

How long will I wait?

For a chance just to chat?

A couple days? Weeks?

I can't handle that!

Back to your life –

Where I don't belong

Ignore how that feels?

I'm just not that strong

Please stay a bit longer?

Won't you let me pretend?

Since she's not there with you

It's my life that you're in?

Soon to be but a ghost

I accept I won't win

A heart –undisclosed

But with you I can't seem to

Grasp self control

So one last time I will ask

Won't you please stay away?

Doesn't have to be long

A few more smiles from your texts

It'd be worth just one more day
