Eternalize






Don't build me a monument of love when I'm gone
But tell me you love me when I'm alive and alone
Take me down to see the northern lights
Holding my hand throughout the night
Write me a poem, paint me in your words
For love gone by sure hurts

Tomorrow when the whole world forgets
Let us embrace what we have
And eternalize this love forever

Don't tell me what can't be done 
Show me that it's never out of reach 
Envelop me in your thoughts
Make me pancakes while I'm still in bed
And the coffee, let it go cold while you hold me close 

Morning showers, water dripping from my hair
Look at me like never before; sans makeup
Just the way I am - bared to my soul
Eternalize love, not through cliched gestures 
But always, always through your words

  5. Such wise words, the opposite of what is usually said but holds good just as well :) "Tell me you love me when I'm alive and alone" - lovely, lovely, lovely thought.

    Also, don't know if you've heard this but if you haven't I have a sneaky feeling that you will love it:
