Just for Today
I ask for one day,
To love you like no other,
To hold you,
My skin creasing yours,
Your arms wrapped around mine,
Just for today I ask you,
Let me treat you like you're my lover,
For tomorrow is not promised,
But my love for you is,
Just for today,
and if God giveth me tomorrow,
Let me love you for another day,
But for now,
Let me love you just for today
