Is It Always a Good Time?

If there’s truly never a “good” or “right” time to tell someone life-changing information, if there’s truly never a “best” moment to act on a decision, does that mean it’s always  a good time?  (In the same way that if all of the emails are urgent, then none of them are?)

Chocolove is a brand of chocolate bar that comes with romance poems as part of the packaging.  I picked this one up the other day, and I wonder, has anyone ever made you feel this way?

 

If You’re Ever Going to Love Me

If you’re ever going to love me love me now, while I can know
All the sweet and tender feelings which from real affection flow.
Love me now, while I am living; do not wait till I am gone
And then chisel it in marble– warm love words on ice-cold stone.
If you’ve dear, sweet thoughts about me, why not whisper them to me?
Don’t you know ‘twould make me happy and as glad as glad could be?
If you wait till I am sleeping, ne’er waken here again,
There’ll be walls of earth between us and I couldn’t hear you then.
If you knew someone was thirsting for a drop of water sweet
Would you be so slow to bring it? Would you step with laggard feet?
There are tender hearts all around us who are thirsting for our love;
Why withhold from them what nature makes them crave all else above?
I won’t need your kind caresses when the grass grows o’er my face;
I won’t crave your love or kisses in my last low resting place.
So, then, if you love me any, if it’s but a little bit,
Let me know it now while I’m living; I can own and treasure it.
