Later
Do not think to leave me
When sunsets die and youth melts away
protect me from the passing years
As passion and fire dull to strong warmth
Our hands familiar
Eroded by gentle time to fit
Silences full of knowing
Do not think to leave me
When rosy flesh weathers
And beauty's ideal alters
Encompassing all my yearnings to have you near me always
Don't ever think to leave me
Remain by my side
Kiss my tender flesh
And watch the time pass further by
