Stay

Uncertainty glistens in my reflection,
Creases of doubt are edged deep into my brow.
My gaze wavers on my body,
Inspecting for any flaw whatsoever.
I think of how my heart thumps inside,
Expanding my chest and threatening to burst.
Still not sure how to feel about you,
I'll go through one more day.
You laugh so hard,
Your smile so bright,
I need for you to be safe.
I can't tell if this connection
Is real
Or a notion in my imagination,
But there's something about you.
All I know for certain is
I want you to stay.
