A Little While Longer Poem by Lee Hepworth

A little while longer, let me harass my heart,
and invite thoughts to play the way they used to,
Had I but not rested near the spot you lay
moonless in the shadows without twilight I would become.
So remember I am o’ergrown in love, -
the muse birds’ sitting on the stone of my heart,
the past already starting to linger
whilst I too fresh see unclouded that day.

A little while longer, let the dreams hush me,
absorbed in the fleet of memories,
wandering once again with a smile
yet none of it is really real not anymore.
But still a distant place exists within me;
the mountain of romance—with a white flag
the surrenderance of my heart.

A little while longer, doesn’t last long enough!
Had I forgot the changes of my heart,
and placed my wings to rest without the chance to fly
melting like the snow only to be remembered next year,
A little while longer, let me believe we are still together.
