Stay For A Minute

People come and go

And unless

You stop them

And get them

To stay for a minute

They’ll keep going on

And on and on and on

Life will take them

In all sorts of directions

Most of which

Won’t include you.

So, if you want someone to stay

You had better tell them so.

Stay.

Please.

Stay with me

For just

A little longer,

Won’t you?
