I look into your eyes

And imprint your gaze in my memory

Not knowing if it will be the last time

You hold me so close

 

I breathe in your smell

And taste your skin

I turn and close my eyes

Quietly sighing a thousand sighs inside

 

I feel such promise when you hold me

I feel safety in your arms

I never want to leave here

But sleep a thousand sleeps

 

Now knowing what I lost

Makes the losing so much harder

When eventually we part

I will grieve for eternity

 

The second I leave you

I ache for you inside

When I see you again

My heart knows comfort

 

I know a love

That cannot be restrained

Unconditional and fathomless

An ocean of tears we have cried

 

I will never stop loving you

Never, never, never

It is all I know how to do

To love the us, the me and you
