hold me tight, don't let me go;
whisper forever-laced promises
in my ear.
(even though we both know nothing lasts forever)
kiss me tenderly in the moonlight,
roughly when the longing's right as we
pray our love survives another year.
(even though the borders between love, selfish need
and lust are no longer as clear)
hold me tightly, let me know that
the temporary forevers we've promised
one another mean more than either
of us are willing to show.
don't do it with haste,
but please don't wait.
(the end of our forever draws near)
