Is There Any Other Way.
Love her as if
there'll never, ever
be another kiss,
what could possibly
be wrong with a hunger
such as this?
Whisper sweet goodbyes,
no bitter words
should slam the door,
many took this exit
then were lost
forevermore.
Save your rage
for politics,
and the stupid
stuff folks do,
so many things
deserve it more
then someone
who loves you.
Linger in each
other's arms,
sweet shelter
treasured by,
so many men
whose empty arms,
embraced Iraqi sky....
sighing her name
as they die.
Call each
other often,
take a minute
just to say,
I love you, hon,
I'm thinking of
and missing you today.
Corrie's husband
called her,
on an ordinary day.
While having
trouble breathing,
and he just felt
he should say,
he might not
make it out of there,
but wanted her to know,
he loved her
oh, so very much,
then the Towers
both let go.
Love as if your
never coming,
back to taste again,
the heady wine
of love so fine,
when her sweet
lips descend.
There are a few
that I once knew,
I'd gladly
give my all,
to feel their arms
around me,
share their kiss,
or take their call.
Fate waits within
the shadows,
even perfect
loves despair,
one moment
bliss and paradise,
the next, your
loves not there.
So spend some
extra minutes,
savor each and
every touch,
in the long view
love is fleeting,
we seldom
get that much.
Though love
will last forever,
what's flesh will
pass someday
love like
there's no tomorrow
is there any other way
