The sun is slowly falling from the top of the sky,
a breeze is whispering above the ground.
I am sitting down,
with your head on my lap.

As you lay there,
resting;
in silence,
I watched.

The curves of your face,
the smile that lingers on your lips.
Many a beautiful memories,
that brought me.

As you breathe in the sweet air of life,
I watched your chest rising and falling in response.
A befitting gift, you,
to the marvelous creation of life.

I raised my hand to your cheek,
yet not quite daring to touch,
not wanting to break your peaceful rest,
yet down your cheek I did stroke.

You stirred,
murmuring aloud some secret dreams.
A smile this brought to my lips,
as I hold you closer still.

Love of my life,
that my life be brighter.
Bitter though my life may not be,
yet sweeter it now is.

The sun is setting soon,
awoke too did you.
I just held you closer,
for no special reasons, no reasons needed.

Though the evening air is cooling fast,
yet with you in my arms,
warmth and love fills me,
for now, for always.
