Just That You Stay

I don't ask for much from

a partner

Just someone who stays,

not one who runs

Life isn't a walk on roses,

you know that Some days good,

some days heavy and worn

I don't speak loudly,

I don't shout it out

But listen to me,

read me,

don't turn away

I want you to see me

for who I am

Quiet, steady, that's all I ask

Show me you love me on

the bad days

Not just when the sun is

smiling

Do that and I'll run a

marathon for you I can give

you everything I have and am

Because love has to be built,

no matter what we are Partners

or married one day

You have to work for it,

not just walk away When the

road gets a little hard to

see

I don't wish for more than

safety and calm Someone who stays

standing when the storm hits

Dreams of a family,

a place to belong Not someone

who disappears when the wind blows

too hard

Because I've been the one who

waited before The one left standing

when someone walked away

I'm not asking for a life

without clouds Just someone who doesn't

let go when it rains

Just show it through action,

not words alone

Stay, that's all

Show me you love me on

the bad days

Not just when the sun is

smiling

Do that and I'll run a

marathon for you I can give

you everything I have and am

I don't ask for much,

just that you stay

Safety on the good days and

the bad

That's what makes me feel safe

with you
