Love you while you are here

A smile is as perishable as time
Joy don't last unto forever
Someone special is taken for granted
Gratitude is swept under the carpet
Great moments sooner fall dead
Always funny how fast we forget
Till Mr. Life takes back what's His
And our mind flood with sad stories
Floating upon poignant memories
Wishes as weapons against grief
How you lament things you miss
But I choose to live in now
To share with your live heart beat
I won't hide under a prideful tongue
Only to wail unto a deaf corpse
I won't wait for another day
To say what I can say today
I don't want to shed worthless tears
I choose to love you when you're here.
