Love Me Now Or Never

Love me now while I can love you in return Love me now when, at will I can turn on and off the lantern Love me now while, still I can exhale and inhale easily Love me now while I can see clearly your beauty Don’t wait for tomorrow When I can no longer see the transient rainbow When I can no longer walk on my own And when I cannot feel the freshness of dawn Love me not solely on Valentine’s Day But also when I erringly go astray Love me now or never So I can remain blessed and blissful forever Regardless of my state of mind Don’t stop being sweet and kind To my soul, to my heart And to my body, before I depart.
