How the hell did you ever pick me?
Honestly, I could sing you a song
But I don't think words can express your beauty
It's singing to me
How the hell did we end up like this?
You bring out the beast in me
I fell in love from the moment we kissed
Since then we've been history
They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
Please, stay as long as you need
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
Please, stay forever with me

There was no light in the room. The digital clock read 2:30 a.m. It was early. I tightened my grip around Emma and tried to fall asleep again. However, it was impossible. I started to comb Emma's hair with my fingers while admiring her.
Thinking of why did she stay with me.
She had multiple chances of leaving me. She could've left when her parents cane for her. She didn't. She could've stayed with Pablo and Pilar back on Marbella. She came back to England with me.
Without noticing my grip on Emma got tighter.

"Why are you awake?"


I woke her. Not a nice idea.

"Simply did. Sorry that I woke you."
"'Ts alright. What time is it?"


I looked at the digital clock again. It now read 2:40 am. Wow, those ten minutes felt like two. Am I always going to feel like that during our relationship? Will I always feel like no amount of time by Emma's side is enough?
"Two forty."
"Gosh, Harry, it's early! Get back to sleep."


She nuzzled her head in my chest again. I sighed and pulled her closer.
"I can't. I have way too many thoughts running through my mind. "
"Such as?" - she asked.
"Such as why you stay, or what makes you stay?"


She looked at me, her glaze laced with sadness and fright.

"You want me to leave?"
"God no!" - I quickly responded. - "The last thing I want is for you to leave."


She sit up grabbed my hands and simply said:

"You and your love make me stay. "


Then she laid herself again by my side looking at me.
I could barely see her facial traces on the dark, but I already knew them with the back of my hand.

I could feel her smile. I could feel her happiness and I knew that she could feel my happiness.
