Pray to Stay
Last night I held my lover close
and spoke of dreams and lust ‘til dust.
Quietly, I fell asleep
within his arms our love to keep.
I miss my lover in the day,
while we’re apart,
while he’s away,
and think of him, I often do,
the way he holds me, strong and true.
I wonder if my lover feels
me missing him,
his golden touch, for it I yearn.
He must be longing too, I know,
for in my heart I burn,
awaiting his return.
At night, a simple kiss divine
or if he chooses, I make him mine.
But in the day, when he’s away, in his love
I pray to stay.
