Days... -My last-

If today was…

The last time I could gaze into your eyes…

I would not cry,
Because I could not bear
To have my tears mar that vision
And spoil that moment.
I would hope to let you go filled with peace…
I would hide my inner turmoil,
Because I would wish
That we could enjoy our last moment.

If today was…

The last time I could taste your lips…

I would not wait,
Because I could not bear,
To have it shortened,
And spoil that eternity.
I would steal your breath,
And give you everything I could in that instant,
Because I would wish
That you would know exactly how I feel.

If today was…

The day before those days ever came…

I would not let you know,
Because I could not bear
To have that shadow over your light,
And spoil that day.
I would cherish each second,
As I do now,
Because I would wish
That I never wasted a moment.

If today was…

The day I died…

I would not cry,
Because I could not bear
To let you see me go like that,
And spoil your last memory of me.
I would face that moment,
Knowing that I was loved,
Because I had wished,
And I had received.

But most of all…

I thank God.

Because those days…

Have not yet come.

And today was…
Just another day,
When I told you I loved you.
