Any Time but Now


My heart can break The world will quake Any time but now. The stars may fall, I'll hear death's call Any time but now. For a single moment, The world is silently still. A single beat repeating, A shuddering kind of thrill Breathe. Take another breath. Our minds a now expanding, Every detail so clear. Press your hand to mine,. As long as we both are here. Beat Let our hearts keep beating. We are not the victors, Of some glorious war. We are merely the after math, Of the pain before. Hope We must keep on hoping. I know that this is only. The calm after a storm. This hanging moment of perfection Will keep all safe and warm. Again wars will start Lives will depart, Any time but now. Don't hesitate, Love won't wait. Any time but now.
