never fading

when she sleeps I watch her breathe
love each breath
realizing how lucky I am and somehow
given a second chance to prove
this love is true never fading
like a painting protected from the sun

when she smiles it could light up
the darkest room where once I sat
left alone for years very few saw me there
I was in a cloud of confusion I created
somehow found the way out
into the open field that we stand before
so much piled behind
made us who we are
the perfect match
even in the rain
it will always light our way

the devotion felt for her
transcends everything I have ever known
even in death this love will never die
forever scribbled on these pages
while beauty sleeps...
