I’ll Never Leave


How can I leave you again,
When your name is carved into the breath of the wind,
When the earth trembles softly beneath your steps,
And the heavens scatter stars just to echo your voice?
You are not a moment to walk away from;
You are a universe, endless and magnetic,
Pulling me in with the gravity of your soul.

I want to be with you forever.
Not just as a presence,
But as the pulse in your veins,
The fire that warms the parts of you
You’ve kept locked in shadows.
Let me reach past the veils you wear so well,
The fortress you built to keep the world at bay.
Let me see it all—the raw, the real, the unspoken.
Let me meet the corners of your soul
Where even you are afraid to tread.

I don’t want to leave,
Not when every part of you calls to me.
Not when your silence speaks louder than your words,
And your touch lingers in places I didn’t know existed.
I want to hold your pain in my hands,
To trace the jagged edges of your scars
And kiss them into softness.
I want to know the storms you’ve weathered,
To stand with you in the wreckage of all that’s been lost
And build something unbreakable from the ruins.

I don’t want to lose the chance to love you more.
The chance to whisper truths we’ve yet to uncover,
To write chapters in the spaces between your sighs.
We are more than fleeting, more than fragile.
We are a collision of stars,
Burning too brightly to ever truly fade.

Tell me everything we could be.
Show me the dreams you’ve buried under doubt,
The desires you’ve locked away in fear.
Let me hold the weight of them with you,
Until they no longer feel so heavy.
Let me be the arms that catch you
When you fall into the depths of your own heart.

I want to remove your veil,
To see the soul beneath the soul,
To hold the part of you no one else has dared to touch.
I want to stand in the fire of your truth,
To be scorched by your light and remade in its glow.
I don’t want the surface—I want your core.
The wild, untamed, vulnerable you.
The version of you that doesn’t know how to hide.

How can I leave when you are my gravity,
When every road I take bends back to you?
Even in the distance, your essence clings to me,
A ghost of your laughter, a shadow of your tears.
You are the ache in my chest, the pull in my ribs,
The quiet whisper in the stillness of night
That reminds me I am alive because I love you.

I want to kiss you in ways that undo time,
To rewrite every moment we were apart,
To turn every doubt into a certainty.
I want to touch you like the rain touches the earth,
Gentle, steady, unstoppable.
I want to hold you like the sky holds the stars—
Completely, endlessly, without reservation.

You and I—
We are not a question to be answered,
But a truth to be lived.
A tapestry of what-ifs woven into what-is.
A love that refuses to be contained by words,
That spills over the edges of everything we know.

Let me take your hand and show you—
We are not just a fleeting dream.
We are the crescendo of every song ever sung,
The story every poet dies to write.
We are infinite, eternal, unbreakable.
And I will not leave, not now, not ever.

Even if the world crumbles,
Even if the stars burn out,
Even if everything we know turns to ash,
I will find you.
In every lifetime, in every dimension,
I will find you.

Because leaving you would be leaving myself.
And I cannot exist without the echo of your name
Reverberating in my soul.
So I ask you again,
Not how can I stay—
But how could I ever leave?

Show me the depths we can reach,
The skies we can climb,
The worlds we can build from the fire of our love.
And I promise—
I will stay.
Through every storm, every silence, every sorrow.
I will stay.
