If. You. Please.

Stay close
The day is well
On it's way
Full of promise
Not promises

They become empty so quickly

I am here
You should be
Somewhere near me
Waiting for the word
Or
The signal
Or
The sun to rise
Finally

The night is never young
And
The sheets are never cold
And
You are still
My surprising love

My breath is short
Pressure rising
Blood and you
One
In the same
Watching you drip away


Stay close
Please
Because
If you are not within
Arm's reach

Just stay close.
