I Stay

I could leave at night
In the darkness I despise.
When you least suspect,
So I wouldn't have to hear you cry.
I could never say a word,
I could never say goodbye.
There would be no questions asked,
I wouldn't need a "why".
I don't know if you'd notice,
I don't know if you'd care.
I kind of think you wouldn't wonder
Why I wasn't there.
Would you question my reasons,
And say that they're unfair?
My silence isn't meant to harm,
It's for your good that I won't share.
It seems you're here to fight me,
When I only want to love.
It seems you want to push me down
So you can step above.
I know that's not the real truth,
You would never mean me wrong.
But when you seem to single me out,
I can't even try to belong.
So I question myself,
And ask if I should go.
It would almost kill me,
A nearly fatal blow.
But it might make you appreciate us,
And teach you what I know.
I won't take you for granted,
I won't take you where you hate.
I just want to be with you
And show you we relate.
Return love....
Or I must turn back.

I shouldn't have to fight a battle I'll never win, just to lose those I've never had.

It is hard to grow, when the other won't!
Great job!!!Can't you see that there's light in the dark.
Nothing's quite what it seems in the city of dreams.
