She wishes you would stay, while you wish to be apart from her.
بَقَاءَكَ — your staying. This action-noun, 'your staying / survival', has the 'your' pronoun on its end and is the object of 'wishes', the thing she longs for. Arabic uses such an action-noun where English would say 'that you stay'. The -ka marks the man as the one whose survival she wants.
