I could never imagine a beauty like you
to have ever been with me.
Reality slowly sinks within
that this could blossom like a tree.
Pinching myself from head to toe
I feel all the pain there should be.
Praying and hoping to always feel it
not to feel lost out at sea.

The way you smile and make me laugh
brings blissful emotions to my heart.
I yearn and strive to be a better man
so I don't give you a reason to depart.
Your love and beauty seem to be from a book
that only can happen in fiction.
Yet here you are in the flesh,
and we're able to cause sweet friction.

If I were to see you with anyone else
I would chuckle and laugh it off.
Quickly, I'd turn and walk away
hiding my tears, pretending to cough.
At least I could say, "Dreams come true"
as I remember the great times we had.
Then I would come back, in a flash
to know that I would be forever sad.

But here you are, as I am too
in this moment of sweet affection.
I'll always hold onto these memories
even if I'm dwindling from infection.
As I lay in bed and gaze up at you
a tear of joy slips from my eye.
Reminiscing of all the love you gave
unfortunately, this will be our final goodbye.
