You're one to stay.

I can, helplessly, be a storm and, without any possible self-restraint, 

wreck you apart but you are one to cup me whole in your hands, 

wait out my unwarranted anguish and remind me of your inexhaustible love.

You're one to wander, painstakingly, through my forest 

seeking to save me from the solitude I tend to subject myself to,

bringing along pockets filled with smiles and melodies 

to enjoy on our way back.

I'm one to spend long periods looking hard in the mirror
but barely making out the person you see in me.
I carry on trusting whatever unprovoked spell you're under
to hold you long enough for me to finally believe and trust in my own magic.
That I am loveable and enough.

I could think of a million reasons for you to leave, 

many more of why I do not deserve you. 

For many or few reasons only known to yourself, 

you are one to stay.
