No Smoking Page 3 Poem by Deborah Cromer

Every time you light up and inhale the smoke of a cigarette
I want you to remember exactly how much I care, do not forget
Do not take away from me this happiness I feel while with you
Every beat of my heart, feelings are born strong, powerful and new
Spend the time with me free and simple, easy and so pure
Your smoking is a habit you can break, all you need is the cure
I am here for you, can you be here giving your time to me
Spending and creating moments from which the negative will flee
Be healthy, take care, you control the life you lead
I only say these things to you by direction of desire and need
Live, live for me, do not kill yourself slowly anymore
This relationship offers mighty love, I was born to explore
Stay with me by my side, in front and stand behind
Surround me, become me, I am for you, do not be blind
Do you understand how important you are to me, I want you to know
I am ready to fight for you to stay, to help you not to go
I care endlessly about you, I want your cigarette smoking to quit
Putting an end to the coughing and dead lung cells you spit
You will have struggle, confronted with weaknesses you must fight
Go slow, have faith, true love will guide you, shedding the light
You will beat the darkness, you can make it, you really can
Do it, live, be here for me, with me, be my loving man
You have smoked for so long, your body knows no other way
Your lungs by now may be rotting and dying, suffering from decay
Stop, stop right now, it is your hope and only chance
My heart needs you, it takes two to righteously dance
