just us in this slow-motion moment
of the smile that slowly blossomed across your face
as i described to you, your wings & halo
you kissed my hand, which seems like such a small thing & yet...
you give yourself with so much passion, meaning & grace
through your lips, i could feel your energy flowing into my veins
a lively fire, as if the sun itself had blessed you with it
you appreciated life for introducing us
a deep breath, "i love you with all my heart"
those words dancing in my chest
your eyes twinkling & sparkling
as if the stars decided to rest in your syrup-colored irises
this moment forever locked into my beating heart
& framed in a room in the back of my mind
this moment forever is & forever will be
& i will never forget it
