My Dearest

My angel hasn't got wings

She doesn't soar in the heavens

She stays here heavily grounded

Indefinitely

My savior doesn't slay dragons

He doesn't fly around the world,

He holds me close

Even when we're miles apart

My sweetheart knows every inch of my soul

Every hair out of place

Every gesture, every emotion

Every tedious detail that makes me who I am

My hero guides me through my darkest days

His fierce embrace, a touching motion after a painful day

His perfect smile: the calm after the most violent storm

And finally, his caring personality: that I couldn't live without

My darling knows I'm not perfect

And they accept me in every way

"I'd die without him"

"I'd die without her"

But they've gone,

Their love is gone

Lost in the deepest catacombs of time

And there it will stay for all eternity

Waiting, for a newly lit spark to revitalize it once more

To revive a pure love, a timeless and passionate love

A love that will travel in an endless loop of life and death

Forever
