Had I

A recap

Had I just let you stay with me,

what would’ve been?

For in mind you’ll always be.

.

Our dream, our wish, displayed with glee,

portrayed our scene.

“Had I just let you stay with me…”

.

You just showed up and we could see

a glowing skin…

“For in my mind you’ll always be.”

.

Yet far from pain, I could not be.

“Please don’t be mean!”

Had I just let you stay with me…

.

Before three months, we could break free –

I had no grin.

For in my mind, you’ll always be.

.

Had I just let you stay with me!

For in my mind, you’ll always be…
