I'm here

I’m here

My love to you I confessed,
Only to find you loved me much less;
Secretly your heart yearned,
And my love for you always burned.
Forever I will stay by your side,
It would be too painful to say goodbye;
None of them deserved you, not even me,
They couldn’t see your beauty, they were too blind to see.
Even if I have to die,
I will never ask you why;
But for the last few moments please hold me close,
Your love acting as my overdose.
When I’m gone I’ll belong to your heart and to the stars,
My spirit will not stray too far;
For now let’s pretend everything’s okay,
Let’s pretend I’m going to stay.
I recall the day I looked into your warm stare,
And promised that I’d always be there;
There is nothing to fear,
Because I am still here.
