    Stay with you
    or
    I love you
    which would you rather hear?
    would you rather be loved by someone?
    or know that you could be with someone
    and stay with them
    but not know if they love you?
    or be loved by someone
    and not know how long they'll stay?
    Is it true that love expires?
    One minute you can be happy,
    on top of the world at that,
    then your happiness expire
    and you can find yourself more angry
    than the habitants of hell.
    Happiness a feeling, love just the same
    who's to say love can't expire?
    who's to say it does?

    Stay with you
    or
    I love you
    Some say I'd rather have some of you than nothing
    Friends versus doing without
    If lovers is not an option
    choose stay with you
    In whole you have a body
    choose I love you
    you know you'll have their heart
    Which would you rather have
    Their everlasting presence
    or
    Their everlasting love

    Stay with you
    or
    I love you
    to have both
    we'll say's no option
    which would you rather hear?
    If it determined the rest of your life
    what could you do without?
    what could you stand all that time?
    Can love stand the test of time?
    I've never known anyone to personally
    perhaps i'll be the first
    then again

    Stay with you
    or
    I love you
    I choose to stay with you
    I know how you feel
    and
    I know what it is
    I can tell myself you do love me too
    even if you can't

    Stay with you
    or
    I love you
    I'd rather hear you say "i'll stay"
    than watch you walk away

    Love is tricky and I have thought about this same thing myself. Personally I just want the truth since it speaks softer than lies do. Anyway, good expression.

    Good expression of a common dilemma, determining actual love as different than a comfort zone.

    Staying may well be the ultimate expression of love. (Altho I have separated from someone that I did love and have regrets)
