For a Lifetime

There is a place within my heart 
that for a lifetime will belong to you.

I will remember to cherish you, but 
only for a lifetime.

My love for you will remain and 
I will love you true, but only for a lifetime.

Happiness I want for you, but not
just for a lifetime. Forever!

 I hope that you retain such memories as your heart
stands still,  but only for a lifetime.

However true my love for you, eternal love I cannot give you,
not even for a lifetime.
