To Give by Ivan Guerrero Najera

To Give

It was a scary thought
To see you so unwell
And nothing in my power
To pick up where you fell

Life strikes when you don't look
When all seems so aligned
You took some bedside kisses
And let them stray behind

Now I'll have to catch up
To those ten days we missed
The feel of your sweet lips
The touch of your sweet cheeks

Your fever ran away
Your short breaths from before
Save them for neverday
For days when I'm no more

You're here for me to see
To care, to feel, to say
To give all I can give
And nothing less you may
