Soft as a lovers touch

I kiss your unmoving lips,

sitting beside you as you sleep.

Every breath you take

Becomes a caress on my cheek,

I close my eyes

and put my arm around you

Both hoping you do not wake,

Wishing you would.

In a whisper I confess

That I have have no words,

No way to concieve

The love I feel for you.

Then carefully, quietly,

I sing to you.

Trying to ease the tention

in my heart.

Your image in my mind

I burn into my memory,

Untouched by cruelty,

Perfectly beautiful,

Flawlessly innocent.

I slowly break my embrace

To see you once more

Untouched by time.

I run my fingers

Through your hair

If only to kiss you

One more time.
