Love me here

Love me here, here and now.
love me first, love me most,

harder, deeper, stonger, longer,
as I try to match you.

love who I am, what I am,
where I am, why I am,

if you can, if you will,

with all my faults,
perfection eludes me,

Know me,
understand me,
accept me.

On a middle ground,
meet me
as I try to do the same.

Love me now, leave me never,
in a dream meant to be,

come true to me,
as I to you,

lingering, enduring, 
prevailing, imperishable

All these things 
in return to you will come,
and more.
