Eternalize

Don't build me a monument of love when I'm gone
But tell me you love me when I'm alive and aloneTake me down to see the northern lightsHolding my hand throughout the nightWrite me a poem, paint me in your wordsFor love gone by sure hurts
Tomorrow when the whole world forgetsLet us embrace what we haveAnd 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 thoughtsMake me pancakes while I'm still in bedAnd the coffee, let it go cold while you hold me close 
Morning showers, water dripping from my hairLook at me like never before; sans makeupJust the way I am - bared to my soulEternalize love, not through cliched gestures But always, always through your words
