I Want You To Stay Because You Want To Poem by Gert Strydom

I want you to stay because you want to,
that you love me out of your own,
locked like a circle without a beginning or end
that we waist no further moment.

I want to peel of moments like an orange
finding your depths and in the day and darkness.
I want you to stay because you want to,
that you love me out of your own,

I want to make no untrue promises,
want to feel you quake in ecstasy,
want to dissipate my joy, fear and longing in you
and find you in every though and sentence;
I want you to stay because you want to,
that you love me out of your own.
