Bringing out
the light in your eyes.
All I ever wanted
was to see you smile.
Pass down the light
from time to time
and resurrect the day
after each night.
The touch of your skin,
your warm embrace
seemed to take
all my fear away.
And I could stand
out there in the storm,
undaunted
by the wind
and the roar.
All I ever wanted
was for you to live
free of all that
this world is,
complicated,
strained,
uncertain place.
You ever were
my best friend.
Take these words
and hold them in your hand,
and know that I am with you
until the very end,
and then,
I will be with you forever.
never doubt
that I loved you
more than anything
in this universe.
