I'd take you away from here if you asked. 
Only answering, "Where to?"
I'd hand over all my possessions to buy you 
One moment of happiness.
I'd walk a million miles—no, as far as it takes—
To be near you, 
Or to bring you back the moon and sun.
I'd fight a thousand, million soldiers, if it meant
Being your one and only.
And yes, I'd break my heart over and over, 
Forever, 
To feel one ounce of reciprocated love.
But it's only at your call, 
Your plea, 
Desire, 
Need, 
one
Word 
From your beautiful lips:
Now. 
So I wait for now.

You&#039;ve gotta take the good with the bad, smile when you&#039;re sad, love what you got and remember what you had. Always forgive but never forget, learn from your mistakes but never regret. People change and things go wrong but always remember life goes on

This one is so good! It's a little different from your other poems somehow, I think. But it's still fabulous!
