Walking Away/Why Should I Stay?

Him:

I’m sorry, but I have to end our friendship.
It’s so hard, but I know I must do this.
I enjoy the time we spend together.
Lately, we have grown closer than close.
Our phone conversations are becoming longer than most.
Ending this, never crossed my mind
Until the moment your lips reached out and touched mine.
When I look into your eyes, I can tell you want to be with me.
It becomes evident when you want to take trips with me.
Believe me, you are very much my type.
When it comes to my dream girl, you are the prototype.

The thing that always holds me back
Is the fact that we’re from different sides of the track.
I may not meet your family’s expectations.
It may seem irrelevant, but it’s a critical revelation.
I can’t begin to touch your background.
Your parents may look down at my background.
We are from two totally different places.
I know love has no prejudice, but its courage that I’m chasing.
The road to your heart, I would like to travel.
But I know the chase will cause me to unravel.
I don’t want our love to carry any baggage.
I don’t want love to face things that will run it ragged.
I don’t want you to be hurt. Now I’m in a Catch-22.
Either way, it’s gonna cause pain to you.
So my decision is to walk away.
With your credentials, you can find a great guy any day.
You know my reasons are real.
I wonder why, for each other, we had to feel.
So today, I am walking away.
Just know that in my heart, you will always stay.
How to keep me from leaving? It’s only one thing I can say…
Tell me why I should stay.


Her:

Baby, you should stay because of your love for me & my love for you.
You know there isn’t anything else on this Earth that’s so true.
I know I can easily meet any other.
But no one compares to you. You’re like none other.
True, there are some things we’d have to fight through.
And I know that love conquers all. I’ll go through any battle with you.
I don’t care what the trial may be.
I don’t care what my family thinks.
I gotta do what’s best for me.
Love is blind and pure.
Through anything, I know we’ll endure.
This is the first time in my life I have been sure.
I kissed you that night
My love for you turned definite from a might.
Today I want you.
Tomorrow I need you.
Forever more, I want to be with you.
Let’s just make it happen and focus on this.
I refuse to lose you over some ignorant politics.
If I come to you, will you let me in?
As I stand at the beginning of my lifeline, are you on the other end?
Having you is the key to everything.
If my heart talked, would you listen?
If you were the star upon I wished, would it make you twinkle?
If only I could gaze into your eyes and whisper,
“It’s my heart that’s standing in need.”
It’s the reason why I’m on my knees begging you please.
One good reason why you should stay?
Love is the reason. Just embrace it, never leave, and stay.
