Poezie The Time is now

If you are ever going to love me,



Love me now, while I can know



The sweet and tender feelings



Which from true affection flow,



Love me now while I am living,



Do not wait until I'm gone



And then have it chiseled in marble,



Sweet words on ice-cold stone.



If you have tender thoughts of me,



Please tell me now.



If you wait until I m 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 it while I am living



So I can treasure it.
