To Derrick:

I wanna write you a love song
But I'm not sure how
So I'll just tell you outright
That I love you forever

I'm not sure you'll believe me
You may not know how to react
The words will always be there
Please remember them when you're down

I want to hear you say them back
But not until you're ready
Because that would hurt more than a knife
Stabbing through my frail heart

So don't say the words
Till they mean something to you
Or else it could mean trouble
For me and you both

So instead just tell me that you care
That I'm important in your life
If even those words are too much
Then 'I miss you' is enough

So promise to stay here with me
Until this feeling goes away
Hold my hand and be my friend
If that's all you can give me

But please, promise to stay
Stay.
