To Capture This Moment - For Nadia

If I could capture this moment  

And always remember

What you look like, lying there

 

I’d capture this moment in all its splendour,

Each soft second passing, so fragile, so tender

As I watch the time tick by, you move further away

In my mind’s eye

 

I’d capture this moment so that I couldn’t forget

To waste your memory a silly regret

And even as the sands of time slide on

Our hearts and souls will never be far from

 

I’d capture this moment so that you’d never look away

Not looking at me, is enough to say

The words I’d hate to hear

That twists and threads into my fear

 

I’d capture this moment and freeze it and hold it

And never let another own it

 

I’d capture this moment so that if it were to ever end

I would never have to spend

Another moment without you...
