*** Cherish ***

I cherish every minute

I have with you

Every minute

That seems to last

Only a second

Or two

I wish we could be

Together forever

But hoping for that

Doesn’t seem to be clever

You are so far away

Even though you’re next to me

Seems like my love

Is the only thing you can’t see

I keep telling you I love you

But you don’t seem to hear

I keep saying I need you

And that losing you is all I fear

I wonder what you’re thinking of

As I look in to your eyes

One day in the future

I’ll fade away your disguise

You’re abstracted by thoughts of your past

Would it help if I tell you

That the feeling won’t last?

And your thoughts will no longer be sour

But you’ll cherish what we have

Every second

Every minute

Every hour
