In moments of silence

I think of you

Your face in my mind

Imprinted forever

Every line there memorised

Testimony to the passage of time

Is it really that long ago

Since we first met

The smile still warm

Your eyes still the same

As I look into them

The feelings overwhelm me

A surge of love so strong

It engulfs my very soul

The beat of my heart

Pounds in my ears

How I long to hold you

And never let you go

Gentle kisses

Slow caresses

Holding your face in my hands

Whispering to you softly

Telling you never to forget

How much I love you!
