Who knows if we’re right for each other? <br />Who’s to say we’ll be together in a year? <br />Somehow, it doesn’t matter, <br />It’s so unimportant. <br />I’m here for you now, <br />We’re friends for this moment; <br />Hear my words, <br />Listen closely while you’re with me: <br />Look into my eyes, <br />See that I care, <br />Not to hold you, <br />Not to have you, <br />That lasts only a passing second. <br />I care for what lasts forever and a day: <br />Choose carefully who will have you, <br />Look on every inch of him you think you love. <br />Don’t settle for second best, <br />Never say you’ll compromise, <br />Don’t let no one bring you down hard, <br />Let no one make you cry tomorrow. <br />Look beyond emotions, <br />Look into the hearts <br />Of men who say they love you, <br />Of your own deceitful flesh. <br />Know who you are, <br />Know who they are <br />Choose wisely, precious girl. <br />And- <br />Ask me who knew you well once, <br />May I still be there to guide you, <br />If not unto myself, <br />To him who loves you more. <br />And turn not away from him who is forever, <br />Trust him to tell you all you need to know, <br />Let him be your firm rock to stand on, <br />Trust no one else but him for all your days.<br /><br />Daniel Nairn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/who-knows-11/
