Linger

Let’s not say goodbye, "See you later" leaves more hope,
The possibility of not loving you, it's hard to cope,
Just thinking about you, makes my heart speed,
Press on the brakes, because I see the need,

As writing temporarily relieves the pain,
Struggling with doubts if you feel the same,
Wanting me, as much as I want you,
As skies and rivers are the only things blue

Lingers the touch, that sweetens relief,
As dreams come, and leave as brief,
Love straightens, makes things crystal clear,
Anything that harms, I don’t want near,

Strength that holds on for dear life,
Even after the day, we are husband and wife.
