Linger a Little Longer: A Poem About Cherished Moments

Linger a Little Longer

on days like this 
when you look 
so fine,

am tempted to ask…
please, 
linger a little longer.

you light up
the atmosphere 
with glorious vibes 

and 
electrifying smile,
why wouldn’t you 
linger a little longer?

i can’t face the thought that 
you must go so soon,

so i’m building up the courage 
to say, please,
linger a little longer.

it’s not every day i get to 
see you this way,

you ought to 
linger a little longer.

i’m running out of reasons 
to ask you to wait a while 
so please,

just linger a little longer.
