The second hand begins to slow
Candle light, long gone
Your chest steadily rises and falls
Keeping time to our song
I look at your unseeing eyes
Blinded by soft sleep
Tears of happiness invade my own
And, silently, I weep
You and I have been through so much
Times of woe and joy
I love you more than I ever thought
That I could love a boy
I fell in love with just one kiss
Magical yet true
I want to spend the rest of my life
With no one else but you
Author notes
My love and I had been together for about a year at the time I wrote this. We are currently separated with no thoughts of getting back together, but this came from the heart. He and I lasted fifteen months together. It was one of the best times of my life. :]
