Make Love To Them

When someone comes
Into your life
And inspires the sweetest passions
Who elevates 
Your secret world 
To new exquisite heights

When that someone is
Is right there 
With you
Looking in your eyes
And holding your hand
And every word they say
Moves you completely
And everything they do
Moves you
Body and Soul
As no one in the world
Has done before

Please
Make love to them
Please
Just make love to them

Make love to them
As much and as often as you can
Make love to them
Morning and noon and night

Get up early
Stay up late
Miss work
Cancel appointments
Skip the party
Pay the bills next month
Record the game
After all
It's only the Super Bowl

Do whatever you have to 
To spend 
As MUCH time as possible
With your lover

Make love to them
In every room
Make love to them 
In the car
Make love to them
Both inside and out
Make love to them
In the shower

Make love to them
And then
Make love to them AGAIN
Make love 
Until you can't 
Possibly
Make love to them
Any More
And then find a way to do it
Again
Do it some more
You can
I'm sure

Make love to them
Tenderly
Passionately
Beautifully
Expressively

Make love to them
With all of your 
Soul
And all your heart 
And all of your strength
And conviction

Why?
For God's sake,
Don't you know that
Life won't last forever.
And even if it did
Things happen
And things 
That you'd hoped would last
Will fade away

Make love to you lover
Every day
And enjoy every precious moment

Make love to them
In any way
When you should be doing other things
Oh
And don't let that bother you
Because THAT PERSON
Is the most important thing
Of all

Make love to them now
Please
Don't think
Just DO it
And do it like 
CRAZY
You can thank me later
Or better yet
Just keep making love

Make love to them tonight and tomorrow
Make love to them all week long
Make love to them
As though
The end of the world
Is coming
Because
If it is
Then you should be coming
Too!

Make love to them
As if there's no tomorrow
Because 
One day
There won't be
And you'll be 
Shocked
And you'll be
Lost
And you'll feel 
Cheated
And desperate
And horrible
In ways that you cannot yet imagine

And then
You'll wish that you'd listened
You'll wish that you had
Taken seriously
This well-meaning bit of advice

You'll wish that
You had 
Made LOVE to them 
Five or ten 
or FIFTEEN TIMES more
Than you did
When 
You had the chance
