Present Tense by Carol Jones

30/12/2017

0 Comments

 
It is today and I am tense because
I love you and I give you a present which I hope you like. 
 
I am continuously in the present as I am giving you a present because I want to show I love you.
 
Am I a passive voice if I think I am loved because you give me presents too?
 
The presents are perfect and you continuously give me presents which I love but does this mean that you continuously love me?
 
I wonder if my presents are conditional? If you give me presents unconditionally, does this mean that your love is unconditional too?
 
I would give you a present now for no other reason that it makes you happy.
 
Would you do this for me?
 
I have given you presents ever since we fell in love all those years ago.
 
Would you be giving me presents now if you still loved me?
 
Present-giving makes us happy,
 
But now I am tense as you are giving me my leaving present,
 
 I do not like this present.
 
This present is past now, and I have only the future.
