The File Labeled “Love”

I gaze at you, lost in your stare,
Unaware that each minute we share
Becomes a memory, fleeting and fast,
A moment frozen, hoping it will last.

Let me capture your face in my heart’s embrace,

In an album of love, where time leaves no trace.

​

The birds sing songs meant just for you,
The Sun sets in your favorite hue.
My world stands still when you hold your breath,

A pause in life, a pause in death.
Even the clouds weep when you’re near,
As if they feel each unspoken tear.

​

I’ll never miss your beauty’s grace,
With each blink, I hold your face.
These moments are captured, though time won’t stay,

Filed away in love’s soft array.
But this moment, too, must fade,
Filed forever in the love we’ve made.
