can you stay?

Before you go
Can we talk?
Can we talk of summer?
Can we talk of summer and not of winter this time?
Can we reminisce?
Can we pretend there is still time?

Even though there is not

Can we pretend reality is at our hands?
Can we live even though we're dead?
Can we believe in God even though we don't pray?
are you listening?
Can we make plans for tomorrow?

Even though you won't stay

Can we still say a word or two?
Of love?
Or friendship?
Hello?
Goodnight?

Can we?
Can I?
Can you?
Can you stay?
