I've always wondered what would come
Had you stayed with me that night
If you had held me in your arms
Until the morning light

My hair a floating halo
Upon your chest adorn
Kisses and sweet lullabies
Til the awakening morn

If you had come and stayed that night
With me, upon my bed
Would you have been there for the morning light?
Would I still have a pillow for my head?

Its really not supposed to be implying what it might seem but it came out like that :) I really like this one though, its pretty much asking if he would still be with me if the situations had been different :)
