THIS
Jonathan Michael Harrison 1965 (London)
If I could give you anything,
It would be this.
This instance, this feeling, this reality.
For this is all we are.
I would give you myself,
And in giving myself,
You would recognise your own self,
Which is one and the same.
If I could show you true love,
I would not give you a kiss,
But I would bare you my soul,
Share it with you.
And if I could do one thing more,
Before I leave this place,
I would give you my all,
I would give you... this.
