I feel a deep stirring in my soul
I yearn, I hunger
I long for the pain to go away
I no longer wish for silence
Or solitude
But I wish for an earnest, whispered
I love you

Do not speak loud
For others to hear
It shall be only for mine ears
And mine alone
That is the only alone I want
You alone

A lingering touch
A sincere promise
That you will never leave
Never leave me alone

I have heard such things before
And I wish for nothing more
Than a quiet vow
That you won't abandon me now

I do not ask for a kiss
Not a kiss goodnight
For surely that only means
A kiss goodbye
If you would only stay
Forever by my side
And never leave me alone
Don't leave me alone this time

I trust your sturdy hands
With my fragile heart
And all I ask is
That you never part
Never leave me alone

Sticks and stones
May break my bones
But I may never recover
If left on my own
Alone
