roses – Hearts Still Care

If

If roses lived long,
Would they be called flowers?

If vows were trusted,
Would one count down the hours?

If the seed wasn’t yours,
Would you get to reap it?

If love had a price,
Would I pay to keep it?

Don’t wait for things to happen,
don’t wait for the leaves to fall,
don’t wait for roses to bloom,
don’t wait, no, don’t wait at all;

Don’t wait for the tides to turn,
don’t wait for the next full moon,
don’t wait to show you love me,
love me now – not later, not soon;

Don’t wait to remember and smile,
don’t wait, waiting is but a lie,
say you miss me this instant,
please, don’t wait for me to die.
