To Love



I never asked you to stay but you stayed.
I never asked you who you were or what you wanted.
You were simply there.
What do you want from me, love?
Was I not stronger alone?
And did I ever need you?
But stay a bit longer.
Not long,
Just until they stop asking
how I am?
And I stop saying, "Fine".
Everyone can tell a glance: you are here.
If you ever leave me
I will go with you.
