now my love,
now my love, he said to me
tie it down if you love it so
and cherish it forever and a half
but if ever
you should feel it pulling on the rope
and trying to get free
let it go
for things you love
often have a way of returning to you
you see, my love
I suppose I did not love enough
for years have passed
and I still await you
perhaps it is because
you are tied elsewhere
to another man's forever and a half
or it could be you have forgotten me
but I, not I, you
not have you ever slipped my mind
now my love, he said to me
be patient for what you love
may not always be what you need
but I cannot accept that
for darling, you are my world,
and thought I to be your universe
it could be not so
but I loosened you in confidence
of your return
my sweet, it has been far too long
and I have fear
you do not think of me
as I once did and still do
of you
you touched my cheek
and embraced me
before you lifted yourself
in joyous flight
joy to be rid of me
I shall never know
but I am ever regretting
that I let you go
