She gave a clever smile and grasped my hand
Mesmerized, I was fixed on the way she moved
Her eyes were lost in paradise, somewhere I could never find her
She exposed my life line tracing its truth
Whispering about tough souls and better lives
Her eyes closed and she was gone, lost in my forever
Her smile never faltered but her voice was dim
She told me to keep holding on
I held on for her.
