Stay Close
Nick Wellner
What can be made of regret
How many years will it take to erode
When I was jagged rocks keeping you at bay
I needed time to shape me
I needed space to carve me out
Too young to recognize
The person looking up to me
I, the adolescent fool
Blind to love absolute
Now I can't grasp firm enough to hold you close
It seems your destined to set sail
To become the man you were meant to be
Expanses of vastness
Distance grows between
Arms outstretched, I'm never out of reach
In your darkest hour
Look to me
I will be the light
I will be your harbor when you need
