Analysis of Whether Tomorrow, Whether Today



Whether together
Whether apart
Now and forever you'll be in my heart

Whether conclusive
Whether unsure
Although allusive you maintain allure

Whether unfinished
Whether complete
Life is diminished absent your big beat

Whether exciting
Whether docile
All seems inviting in your sweet jostle

Whether compliant
Whether withstood
Nothing defiant can reverse your good

Whether exquisite
Whether austere
Any true visit displays you're sincere

Whether tomorrow
Whether today
Beg, steal or borrow I wish you to stay
