I Want To Have It All Poem by david lessard

I don't like the days,
when they don't begin with you -
I don't like the nights,
when your not by my side -
I don't like the moments,
when they go so quickly,
I feel like an ocean somewhere,
that has no tide.

I don't like the evenings,
when your not in them -
I don't care for sunsets,
Unless they're shared with you,
I don't like the weeks,
that hurry on by me -
I'd roll them all back,
If it was in my power to do.

You see, the time, it never
seems to slow,
and the times together
seem so small -
I want your love forever
and a day -
Not just part-time,
I want to have it all.

It's only right,
that you should be,
my lover -
It's only right,
that you should be,
my wife,
Not for a day,
Not for an evening -
But from this moment on,
and all my life.
