FOREVER

I know that I can’t call you my own,
nor I can say a word to that effect,
but you permitted me
to have you in my possession;

I know that this is passing
and what we have now is not forever
but I must say it again, that you are
the person I will not stop from loving;

Saying I love you is not enough,
and time will tell, and events
will dictate, but I will still remain
even if our sailing is rough;
