Keep me in some corner of your life, and watch me fight alone against the whole world, fierce with pride! Just stay, this once! It's only one small life, see, it'll pass well enough, one way or another! Stay here for me, in this house, this courtyard! I'll weave songs around you again, spin stories. Sometimes, in the ache of never quite having you completely, I'll press my head to your chest and break into sobs. Just stay, becoming my entire being, becoming my very own person. It's only a short-distance life, look, it will pass just fine! I'll love you even more, scold you for reasons and no reasons, give you hell for the smallest mistakes! Won't you stay in this life of mine? It's only a sparrow's life, it'll be over in the blink of an eye! You can sort through all this nonsense I'm talking later!
Don't stay!
