Promise Me You’ll Stay
Promise Me Youll Stay
Because my heart has already chosen you, and I need to know yours will choose me too.
Will you love me when the light in me dims,
when fear crawls up my spine and my voice shakes with doubt?
Will you stand still when the ground between us cracks,
or will you run, like so many before?
Will you stay when Im messy
when my heart bleeds old wounds you didn’t cause,
when my temper flares and my silence feels cold?
Will you trace the scars I hide and call them beautiful,
or will they scare you away?
Tell me
am I safe in your love,
or am I just one bad day,
one bad argument,
one broken moment away from losing you?
Will you love the parts of me I don’t even love yet
the stubborn parts, the wounded parts, the unfinished parts?
Will you choose me when Im hard to choose?
Will you fight for me when I don’t know how to fight for myself?
Is your love a shelter,
or just a season?
When the world pulls at us,
when my demons claw at the edges of our peace,
when staying feels like work
will you still say my name with tenderness ?
Because I don’t need a love that’s only here for the easy days.
I need the kind that holds on through the storms,
the kind that stays bruised, battered, but unbreakable.
Will you love me when it’s ugly?
When it’s real?
When the weight gets heavy,
when I’m not easy to understand,
when my heart feels like a mess
Will you love me when I’m not shining,
when my flaws scream louder than my smile?
When I pull away because I’m scared,
will you pull me closer instead of letting me go?
When it’s not simple, when it’s not sweet,
when staying means fighting through the hurt
will you still be all in?
Will you promise me you’re not just here for the sunshine,
but for the storms too?
Will you love me when the sky turns gray,
when laughter fades and all that’s left is heavy silence?
Will you hold my hand when I am not so easy to love,
when my edges are sharp and my heart feels too tired to shine?
Will you have my back when storms roll in,
or am I just one wrong word away from standing alone in the rain?
Will you see the good, the bad, the broken parts of me
and still choose me, even when it’s not easy?
When the picture’s not perfect,
when my smile falters,
when the weight of my past spills into our present
will you still call me yours?
Or is your love only for the sunny days,
the sweet moments,
the easy victories?
Tell me
is your love a promise written in stone,
or a feeling that fades with the winds of change?
Will you fight for me?
Will you fight for us?
Or will you leave when the road gets rough,
and love asks for more than just words?
Because I don’t need perfect.
I just need real.
I just need you
all in and even when it’s hard.
And just so you know…
For me, the answer is yes.
I’ll stay.
My love is unconditional.
And please believe I will always choose you.
So can you promise me you’ll stay too?
Because my heart has already chosen you, and I need to know yours will choose me too.
