Music: Ryan Star - Stay Awhile


Present Tense

Pasts are never dead and gone

But they are past

It goes against all the rules I've had
against the instincts of when I was a child

But I am grown now

and I just want to forget all others, forget the past
I don't need to know her names
the hows or whens and whys
I know enough already

to know

that I can trust you
they are not me

I want to know your ups and downs
your story

But more than anything I want to know you with me

And I bear too much shame
for ever thinking anyone else was you
for ever giving too much of myself when I shouldn't have

I like the me I am now
