I Choose To Stay

I CHOOSE TO STAY. 

I chose to stay.
I wasn't coerced your way.
A thousand and one choices I had
But with you, I chose to stay till we return to sand. 

It wasn't a coincidence we crossed paths. 
Neither was our meeting a fabricated maths.
I chose to stay.
To be your favorite everyday.

Oh my favorite one! 
Do not be shy showing me your scars, 
Do you think I don't have one?
You think I'm pretty? You should see me without the stars.

I've seen your scars, I say you're pretty.
I've seen your stars, I say you're not petty.
I choose to stay.
To be your favorite everyday.
