The Time Is Now

If you are ever going to love me,
Love me Now,
While I can know the sweet & tender feelings,
which from the affection flows
while I am living
Do not wait
until I'm gone
and then have it chisled In marble
sweet words
on ice cold stone
If you have tender thoughts of me
Please tell me now
If you wait
Until I am sleeping
never to awaken
there will be death
between us
and i won't hear you then
So if you love me
even a little bit
let me know
while I am living
so I can treasure It.
