A Few Minutes More Poem by Ayhan Diril

Stop, my tongue
Don't move my lips
Don't say goodbye
Let me stay with you,
A few minutes more.

Don't move, my feet
Let me fix my eyes on you.
Let me see you
A few minutes more.

My eyes are wet with tears
My heart always fears
What if I can't see you again?

I want no jewellery no luxury
No other love but yours.
The sun may shine tomorrow
But what if I can't see you again?

Will the day have any meaning?
I don't mind crying again.
But what if tears shade your view
Let me see you again and again
What if I die tomorrow?
