If time permits,
My darling
We will dine
With our arms locked
In each other’s embrace.
And soulful songs
Clearing our path of love.
If time permits,
My darling
I would love you
Till you would no longer wish
You had heeded your parents’ warning
Not to let love
Cast a shadow over your eyes.
If time permits
I would do all these, but now
I have a novel to write.
