I cannot promise you eternal love; my lifespan
Does not lose itself in the realms of time.
I cannot even speak of the years ahead:
These words, now, remain after being said.
Do not ask for vows I cannot keep.
How does it matter even though you hold
That most precious place in my heart.
I am here today: tomorrow we might part.
Come to me here now in this silent dusk.
Touch me with your gaze. If on life's journey
We meet again, then, that will be enough:
Life has some eternal moments, ah, many such.
