Love me

Love me, and I am yours to keep, Love me, while life&embers leap. A choice you have, a path to tread, And I know waiting lies ahead. But oh, my dear, time will not pause, It speeds along without a cause. Tomorrow’s dawn, its secrets veiled, No one can know what has prevailed. Yet, you are here, beside me now, This truth I grasp, I know not how. We&far too close to turn away, To let such feelings fade, astray. We’re blessed, my love, in this embrace, To simply love, to time and space, To simply love, with all our might, Bathed in this fleeting, precious light.
