A lease on a loved one.

May I

borrow

you

For a while?

I promise

not to hurt...

 

Till

tomorrow,

No later

I promise

I wont divert you long…

 

I know

you are

limited

In time

that can be taken.

 

I know

it deeply

Somewhere sore

that misses you,

and cannot be ignored.

 

So may I

Please?

Love you for today?

 

May I

Love you

In this fleeting way?

 

A lease on a loved one

is what I'll have with you

 

And I'll take this given time

and cherish it truly

 

So may I

Please?

Love you for today?

 

May I

Love you

In this fleeting way?
