Absence.

Lover please last.

Stay for a while longer.

I'll hold your coat, your boots

as long as you hold my hand.

The air is so hot out there,

so warm, so threatening.

Here it's cool, I'll turn the fan towards us.

Can you feel my silken hair on your cheeks?

Remain in my eyes love,

behind my ears,

on the back of my knees,

in between my pretty little toes,

or just under my blouse.

 

Promise me you'll stay.

I'd never lock you away,

never hide you,

never trap you.

I couldn't bare your tears,

your frown,

your embraces retreat.

 

Promise me you'll stay.

I never asked for love.

I never questioned desire.

I never denied satisfaction.

You never offered.

But love, promise me you'll stay.
