A [[Stock Phrase]] said by one character desperate for another not to leave. Often said by a very lonely character, or maybe a young character with no one else to look after them. Said by a love interest frequently as well.
May be accompanied by a [[Caught the Heart
If the person being addressed has to go on alone regardless for whatever reason, expect a [[Tear Jerker]] moment, especially when done coldly, such as with a [[Little No]]. This is also quite common when the person being addressed is dying, in which case this becomes [[How Dare You Die

{{quote| '''Chloe:''' ''I need you.'' I didn't say that, of course. How could I, without it sounding weird? But I felt it, heart hammering against my ribs, and it wasn't some romantic ''I can't bear to be without you'' nonsense. It was something deeper, more desperate.<br />
When I thought of Derek leaving, the ground seemed to slide under my feet. I needed something to hold on to, something solid and real when everything around me was changing so fast. Even if there were times when I thought it would be easier without Derek there, ready to tear a strip off me at every misstep, in some ways I relied on that--someone to keep me thinking, keep me striving to do better, keep me from burying my head and praying that it all worked out. }}

Line 144:
* Dusty Springfield's "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" is a song about a woman begging her beloved to stay with her, they don't have to admit their love for each other, because just being with her is enough. The fact that Dusty was a bisexual seems to add an extra layer of potential sadness to the song.
* In [[Fairy Tales]], by Eric Lane Barnes, the song ''"A Humming Bird"'' is about a man desperately pleading for his dying lover to cheer up and get well again, because he doesn't know how he could possibly live without him.
* [[
* [[
* [[Pink Floyd]] has a much darker song also called "Don't Leave Me Now," in which the narrator begs his wife to stay with him because he's dependent on abusing her.
