PLEASE STAY

 

I looked up,

And there you were . . .

With all the years that have passed us by,

As I remember we never said goodbye!

We both just took a different path –

And then I heard that insatiable laugh!

You were sitting at a table with some guy,

And I felt my heart begin to sigh . . .

Then you turned, and looked my way,

And the passion in your eyes wanted to say:

“I’ve never forgotten the love we once had,

And I’m so sorry that I made you mad!”

Then you got up and walked away . . .

With my heart screaming, “Please Say!”
