Wound so tightly in my grasp
Forever within heart’s clasp

Your love is ever lasting
My smile it’s quickly masking

The deepest depths of my cries
Oh how I hurt inside

I'm trembling
Trying to find the right words to say

Love, just arms reach away
Oh how I wish you could stay

This sorrow, so gently placed
My eyes widen with dismay
...........If only
If only you could stay
