The Time Is Now

If you are going to love me,
love me now,
while I can know the sweet and tender feelings.
Which from true emotion flow.
Love me now.
While I am living,
Do not wait till I am gone and then
Have it chiseled into marble,
Sweet words on ice-cold stone.

If you have tender thoughts of me, Tell me know.
If you wait until I am sleeping,
Never to awaken,
There will be death between us,
And I will not hear them.
So if you love me even a little bit,
Let me know while I am living
So I can treasure it.

In loving memory of Ashley Marie Manhan-Daigle, Melissa, Buffy and others long lost before the chance to say 'I love you' and 'You are my friend' was taken.
