(You) Didn't Stay

a new lover that left too soon

I wanted you to love me
And you did
Or so I thought
Your lines of love and passion
I had bought

I wanted you to hold me and
for us to be close
And you did & we were
But now I am left with the
memory & your ghost

I wanted your time, attention & care
But what you gave was so little
I was willing to give our romance
a chance
By the time I blinked-you were no longer there

I wanted you to stay
For us to find a way
But we couldn't because you didn't
Now we'll never know what might've been
I've wanted to tell you-but for so many reasons
These words I can't say
