Kiss me sweetly in the morning

let me call you

lovely names at noon.

Meet me

in the evening;

make me

want the night to come soon.

Hold my hand

when things are bad

let me laugh

with you when things are good;

let us be to each other

what those in love

really should.

For life is too short

not to enjoy

and has too much pain

not to share

the cares and the burdens

that we often

seem destined to bear.

Let me call

you my dearest friend

and myself

be the same to you;

for whatever the season

or the time of day

I will be in love with you ~

be it late in the evening or midday

or in the midst

of the dew of our morning.
