This Time

I'm not looking to change your life
just your mind maybe a bit
get into your heart today
and tonight have a fire lit

you say there's tomorrow
but what then if it should rain
what if I should die
would then your torso lain
across my heartless still
breathless, speechless, closed
un-glistening eyes that no longer seek
to warm your mind, froze

if it is to be
then let it be today
my love, life is not promised
and can be taken away.

Come right here, here
along my side, within my hand
let me walk you through and
take your shoes off in the sand

I will not change your life, I sware
but let me try for your mind
maybe a little piece of your heart
if you would be so kind
allow me today, this time.
