TP Sage (March 24,1958 / Coral Gables, Florida)

Years from now
We'll laugh and cry
about foolish mistakes
lonely moments,
and painful happenings
that all had happy endings.

months from now
we'll sing out our love
dance on the tables,
cry in our beer
and dream the dreams
that only love brings.

days from now
we'll wake to the sunshine and the birds
jump naked from the bed
into life
knowing that what we have
is what we want.

Tonight
will last forever
it always does when you're not here.
But, even though when we're apart
time stands still,
love does not.
