Here to Stay

I was king of the basketball court until someone leaked photographs from a party.

Now I may have lost it all, my spot on the team and my athletic scholarship.

I won’t stop until I get them back.

But even that won’t be enough.

It’s not enough ruling my college campus, not if I’m by myself.

I want her, the feisty single mother I met over the summer.

She gave me the keys to her house, but I want more.

I want the keys to her heart.

She’s my queen, and I want all of her.

She thinks I’m too young, that it won’t last.

I’ll prove her wrong.

Do whatever it takes to win her over and convince her I can be the man she needs.

That I’m here to stay.

I’m not stopping until she’s mine.

All of her.
