The Rest Of Eternity

Ain't it funny how time slips away
When you say those three little words?
How the world just disappears
For a single fleeting moment
The tenderness of your voice
Still lingers here in my mind
I long for the day when I can
Hold you and hear you say that
You'll be mine forever
If I could be granted but a single wish
I'd wish to live happily in your arms
until the end of time
I'd gladly give my last breath
Just to feel your kiss
To know that I made you happy
If only for a moment
There simply are no words
To describe this love I feel for you
To tell you of the ache
I feel clear through to my soul
Though we aren't together
You still hold my heart across
All the lonely miles
I sometimes lie awake at night
And think of things that you have
Said to me
You have given me memories
That time itself cannot erase
And the best thing of all
Is the fact that this is
Only the beginning
We have the rest of eternity
To share this dream together

Ok ok I need to stop this....sniff...another tissue please.  This is wonderful.  It has me down to the last word.  Quite simply beautiful.  I would like to ask if I may print this out so that can add it to my file so that I may read it later when I become discouraged.  But I will only do this if I have your permission.  Thank you for writing and posting this here.
