Stay With Her

If you’re going to leave, then leave

But if you leave, don’t come back

Don’t come back in 7 days or 7 weeks or 7 months and tell me that leaving was a mistake and that you never should have left but you were naïve and inexperienced and didn’t know how to handle your feelings for me

Don’t come back in 1 year or 2 and tell me that you let go because you so firmly believed that if you love someone you set them free and if they come back it’s meant to be

Don’t come back and tell me that the universe brought you back to me because it knew how desperately you still loved me

If you’re going to leave, then leave

But if you leave, don’t expect me to wait

Don’t expect me to wait 7 days or 7 weeks or 7 months and still believe that if you love someone you don’t give up on them, even though you gave up on me

Don’t expect me to wait 1 year or 2 and go home every weeknight after a 9-5 work pace wondering where the hell you are and why it isn’t with me

Don’t expect me to wait for you

If you’re going to leave, then leave

But if you leave, don’t give me a hard time for moving on

Don’t give me a hard time for moving on in 7 days or 7 weeks or 7 months because I told you that you were the only star in the sky, but realized there are so many other stars in that fucking sky

Don’t give me a hard time for moving on in 1 year or 2 when it burns your chest to see me so damn happy with someone who isn’t you

Don’t give me a hard time for moving on because if it weren’t for you there wouldn’t be any moving on

If you’re going to leave, then leave

But if you leave, then stay

Stay with the next girl for more than 7 days or 7 weeks or 7 months at a time because she deserves it

Stay with her for 1 year and then 2 plus because she is everything for you that I could never be

Stay with her because she realizes that there are so many other stars in that fucking sky, but she still picks you

Stay with her
