Never Go

 Never Go 

Never go, never leave my life; I needed you before I ever met you. 

I needed someone I could be myself with, someone I could go on adventures and have fun with; without the stress. 

You fit the bill one hundred percent; I love you for that, and for sticking around, making each day better like you do. 

All the while knowing there is an unexpected love growing between us, that must be kept in the shadows to avoid a mess. 

 

I selfishly ask you to never go, I cannot lose you; you have been my life raft as I navigate the labyrinth of my heart. 

I was drowning fast when I met you; suddenly, the rain stopped, the water started to recede, and I didn’t feel doomed. 

You eased the strain of having to keep myself afloat amid a raging storm and brought me a sense of calm from the start. 

Becoming my saving grace with each conversation; keeping, me from losing the battle to the tsunami that loomed! 

 

So, I plead with you to keep your word, never go; never walk out of my life, losing you would hurt too much. 

What exactly that means, I do not know; I just know that it would devastate me. 

Our friendship means the world to me, bringing a balance to my fucked-up life with all its bullshit; chaotic love and such. 

Everything seems a little less grim since you walked into my life; please never go, listen to my plea!
