Stay up forever

Just a few steps behind,
in the shade of your shadow.
right by your side,
whenever you need me.
I will be here
when you're sad and lonely
I'll be here
when you're on top of the world.
Even if my eyes get heavy
and my breathing slows,
and the claws
of tiredness
latch onto my skin,
to console you,
comfort you,
I will stay up
with you forever.
