If I Lay Here


(To My Dearest Friend)

If I lay here, would time slip away?

Would the sun shine brighter than any other normal day?

Sometimes I do pray to see you again to repay

All the wrong things that I say

If I lay here, would you stay?

Or would you leave me again to breakaway?

Where I lay is where you left me

Because the sun does not shine the same way

All others have cautiously gone astray

And yes, I hate to say

But I will be seeing you again today.

<p>The person does not hate to see them, they hate the way they are going to see them.</p><p>The meaning of it is that they will take their own life just to see them again.</p>

<p>Do you want this person to return? If so, why would you hate to see this person?&nbsp;</p><p>I appreciate the candid way you write.</p>
