We've got now. <br /> <br />Here, this very moment, where each passing second belongs to us, <br />We own it all. <br /> <br />While the world can't spare us all her time, she's given us plenty, <br />She's given us now. <br /> <br />Time, blank faced, <br />Winds down, <br /> <br />Wears out, <br />When it fails to fit into this exclusive existence we share. <br /> <br />Lying as your echo, shadow, <br />Breathing you in like the air's not enough, <br /> <br />I am because you are, <br />Am me for no other purpose than to share in this <br /> <br />With you. <br /> <br />So the well-worn, lived-in past and the who-knows tomorrow are <br />Gone, or never were, <br /> <br />When this second <br />Now <br /> <br />Is spent in your eyes, <br />And I live to love and exist as yours.<br /><br />Annie Jane<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/owning-now/
