Past and Present


Past

Will you be mine?

Will you love me to the end of time?

Will you always be there for me?

Because I love you, I will.

 

Will you be only mine?

Will you say goodbye to everyone else?

Will you forget yourself, to know me best?

Because I love you, I will.

 

This isn’t good enough.

You didn’t do enough.

Will you redo it all for me?

Why?

Because YOU love ME.

 

You can’t leave me.

You won’t leave me.

You can’t live without me.

Why?

Because YOU love ME.

 

When you read this, I’ll be gone.

Will you use the rope I left for you?

Will you lose all hope?

Because I love you, I will.

Goodbye.

 

 

Present

I will be yours.

I will love you to the end of time.

I will always be there for you.

Why?

 

I will be only yours.

I will love you, and those you love.

Please don’t forget about yourself.

Why not?

 

I’m not good enough.

I can’t do enough for you.

I’m sorry I messed up.

I forgive you.

Why?

 

You will leave me.

Eventually you’ll leave.

Everyone does.

I’ll stay beside you, until you send me away.

Why would you do that?

 

 

Will you be mine?

Will you let me stay beside you?

Will you marry me?

Yes!

I love you.
