let me down easy

Let me down easy, stay here forever
For tonight, I don’t want to sleep alone
Don’t let me go, not now, and not ever
You softened up this solid heart of stone
 
You could be mine always, just stay with me
We could be so perfect, just me and you
Think about how amazing we could be
I feel this feeling, I know you do too
 
If you want, we can sleep on it tonight
Let me know what you think of my sweet plan
I tell you this feeling we share is right
Last time I wanted to talk, you just ran
 
Baby, just take my hand, follow me home
And stay with me wherever I may roam

written for an assignment in my AP English class, modeled after the sonnets written by Shakespeare, and dedicated to my wonderful and loving boyfriend of three months
