The Time Is Now

If you are ever going to love me,
Love me now, while I can know
The sweet and tender feelings
Which from true affection flow.
       Love me now while I am living;
       Do not wait until I’m gone.
       And then have it chiselled in marble,
       Sweet words on ice-cold stone.
If you have tender thoughts for me,
Please tell me now.
If you wait until I am sleeping, never to awaken,
There will be death between us,
And I won’t hear you then.
       So, if you love me, even a little bit,
       Let me know it while I am living
       So I can treasure it.

**************

I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

— William Blake
