Can you just stay with me a little while?
I know we aren’t together,
but the only thing that fixes me is your smile.
You’ve moved on and you’re gone,
but my heart still aches for you.
I’m a little broken and a little lost—
to be found, I know the cost.
I’m not asking you to love me,
not asking you to sway,
All I’m asking
is for a little while you stay.

Can you just stay with me a little while?
I know we aren’t together,
but the only thing that fixes me is your smile.
You’ve moved on and you’re gone,
but my heart still aches for you.
I’m a little broken and a little lost—
to be found, I know the cost.
I’m not asking you to love me,
not asking you to sway,
All I’m asking
is for a little while you stay.
This poem captures the quiet ache of longing for someone who has already moved on — not asking for love back, just the comfort of their presence for a fleeting moment. It’s about how sometimes healing doesn’t come from grand gestures, but from the simplicity of not being left alone
