Mine for a Short Time

Precious have these days been for me

In these moments you were mine

Even if only for a short time

I hurt to let you go

But I knew from the start

I wouldn’t get to keep you

Because you were only to be mine for a short time

Though letting you go threatens to tear me in two

I will never regret the time you were mine

And though our time is nearing its end

I will treasure you till the final second I can no longer call you mine

May these final days be precious

I hope that we draw closer and closer till the last

While you’re still mine and I am still yours

Forever though you will always be in my heart

Even though you will not always be mine

I love you always and will forever cherish the days you were mine

Even though it was only for a short time
