Raptured by the beauty of your very presence
I saw stars as I caught a glimpse of your soul
The very cosmos themselves shifted under my feet
And for a moment every question ever uttered had an answer
Just because of you
The dirt under your toes shifted
But not under mine
And as I saw you sink
I noticed your smile
As happy as you were years ago
Even as your body began to change
From the young woman I had first greeted
With a woman that had experienced life
Lines gave truth to your hardships
As they etched upon your face
And the once golden strands I had once spun
Faded into a silver that showed Death's upcoming touch
But none of that mattered
Because your soul
Your very presence
Was still as beautiful as it has ever been
Possibly more
For I fell for you
And only you
