Waking in the filtered light,
Gazing at your sleeping face,
Like a child caught in wonder,
Finding the love I dare not wish
Nor even hope to see
Or ponder.
You say my name, it soars up high,
Above the sunlit clouds, the sky is on fire.
Your words aflame, only I can hear.
My eyes may lie, but my heart can't deny,
You make me feel this eternity
Is near.
In the fading light, I hold you tight
Over the darkened sea, reflected in your eyes.
Forever, yet not, I lay this love,
Afraid to let go, though the stars beckon.
Pages,
Of the memories of You
Are all I have.
