for a day

Folder: 
Poetry

Let me love you,

Just for a day.

I know I cannot have you,

but it makes me feel important.



And I keep this sweetness,

Tucked away under lock and key,

In my chest, in my heart,

You are the only one who deserves it,

Who can find it.

Just for a day,

That's all I ask.



I take hold of these dreams;

I cannot let them get out-of-control or grow wild,

They would fly away home, to you;

I am afraid I could not catch them.

The same way I cannot catch,

these tears you bring on.

Please,

Just for a day;

They may stop flowing then.

I ask nothing more.



My cup is not running over;

It is not half full.....

nor even half empty.

You have no filled it;

It would only take a moment.

Just for a day.........

or eternity.



Whichever you prefer.
