I can’t stop this worry, this fear, this dread
It’s consuming me, inside my heart and head
I can’t be with you to hold you tight
I can’t take away your pain tonight
.
I need to know you’ll be okay
Know that you won’t slip away
I have to know that you won’t leave me
I need you here to guide, to lead me
.
You’re brave, you’re strong, I know you’ll fight
But I need to know you’ll be alright
I know that you will not give up
But the fear I hold, it just won’t stop
.
My heart, it says you’ll make it through
My head, though, doesn’t know what to do
I’ll keep believing, I’ll hope, I’ll pray
You’re going nowhere, and here you’ll stay
❤ Thank youuuuu

It was written a while ago for a female friend who was rushed to hospital suddenly, while I waited for news on their condition.

This is good. Its nice how two people depend on each other for support. The person writing the poem wants to be there for someone who seems to be not OK at the moment. But he also wants that person to be with him to guide him. This line “I need you here to guide, to lead me” brings out this co-dependence beautifully. This poem would fit (almost) perfectly for a short story I wrote a few days earlier https://yuhublogger.wordpress.com/2016/12/31/one-new-years-eve/
