I NEED LONGER



I NEED LONGER

I need longer than this small amount of time
I need longer with your body close to mine

I need longer to tell you what I’ll miss
I need longer with the sweet taste of your kiss

I need longer to look at the stars that shine brightly in your eyes
I need longer to listen to your breathing and your sighs

I need longer to grant you all your secret wishes
I need longer giving you all my special kisses

I need longer to always make you smile
I need longer so please stay here awhile

I need so much longer darling
 for I’ll always love you so
Please do not say
 “I’m sorry, but it’s time for me to go.”
