I have been promised not a tomorrow,
so I must make the most of today.
I must release my love in words,
that I have so wanted to say.



I must tell you that I love you,
and how much you mean to me.
I need to touch you just once more,
and hold you tenderly.



I need to watch you for a little while,
I need to hear your voice.
I need to see that beautiful smile,
and hear that delightful giggle of joy.



I want to freeze in the spaces of Time, 
a moment we've shared together.
I promised to keep you for better or worse,
and I know now, that it all was for the better.



There were no bad times, 
those were only days of growth.
And God in His wisdom,
sent me the helper that I would need the most.



When this day is over, 
and my time is through,
I want you to know
how very much, I have loved you.



So that, if I go, 
and have to soon depart,
You will know of all the love,
I have carried deep in my heart.
