Love Poem: The Time To Live

The Time To Live

Let us take the time to live
To be free, my love
With no plans and no routine
We can re-imagine our life

Come to me, I’m here
All that’s missing is you
Nothing is impossible, everything is allowed

Come over here, listen to the murmured words 
On the other side of the month of May
They make us the promise
That everything will fade one day

Come to me, I’m here
All that’s missing is you
Nothing is impossible, everything is allowed

Let us take the time to live
To be free, my love
With no plans and no routine
We can re-imagine our life 

---Georges Moustaki
