LOVE ME

Wether or not tommorow,
still holds promises of things to be,
does not seem quite so important anymore,
for I've opened my eyes and now I can see.

Tommorow doesn't really matter,
and yesterday is part of the past.
Today is all that we really have,
it is the only moment that ever lasts.

And I am through planning my life,
on a path that I've never touched.
I'm ready to embrace my life now,
I finally realize that I am worth that much.

So if you want to love me, love me now,
before the chance is no longer ours.
We've already wasted so much time,
so many lonely comfortless hours.

My mind is overflowing with thoughts of you,
my love is yours for the taking.
But I fear that with each passing day,
My heart is in jeopardy of breaking.

So please listen to my plea,
if you think that you can find a way,
Forget about yesterday, don't think of tommorow,
I'm here right now, love me today..

Red,

I like the message in this poem a lot!

While reading it, I saw a few things that I would like to suggest, if I may be so bold and if you are open to them, email me at cmbailey@jps.net.

Whew, I could not have said it better.  If it were true of the one I think of every day, I'd probably be over there in a heartbeat! Excellent poem.
