NOW or LATER

 

please don’t tell me later

What if later our meal gets cold 

What if we don’t have power in the house? 

And we no longer love each other.

What if later is just too far 

And you don’t remember my smile

Or you forget my name after you get amnesia

What if you forget the taste of my lips

The pretty little things 

And our big dreams

What if later, it’s just not the same for us

And we’ve grown out of love 

And we no longer want what we ought.

What if later, it’s just not the same 

And we allow the burdens of life carry us away.

What if later, love starts to feel like pain and we exchange our beautiful days? 

Please don’t tell me later.

What if we don’t love ourselves the same? 

Let’s do now.

When our love is young and our soul barely knows hurt.

Let’s do now, because now feels so perfect and hopeful.

Like you would always be there.

Like no one can take away the moment.

Like there’s no pretense.

Can we do now? 

I like now better.
