I’d be with you forever,

but I understand if you can’t love me that long,

but could you love me for several years?

I’d be with you for several years,

but if you can’t love me that long,

could you love me for several months?

I’d be with you for several months,

but I understand if you can’t love me that long,

could you love me for a few weeks?

I’d be with you for a few weeks,

but I understand if you can’t love me that long,

but could you love me for a few days?

I’d be with you for a few days,

but I understand if you can’t love me that long,

could you love me for just one night?

I’d be with you for just one night,

but I understand if you can’t stay that long,

could you hold me for just a few minutes though?

I’d be with you for a few minutes,

but I understand if you can’t stay that long,

but could you gaze into my eyes one time?

Just one time?

That could be enough for me.

I’d be…
