Stricken

The peaceful rhythm of our two hearts,
beating deep into the night.
Holding you so close to me,
through the darkness comes the light.

Upon a beam I make a wish,
and hope that it comes true.
The only thing that I want in life,
is to spend it all with you.

To awake each morning by your side,
is a joy I can't explain.
The precious way you make me feel,
when you softly whisper my name.

With every passing second,
I love you more and more.
You are the one who owns my heart,
it's you that I adore.

I know that I will never have again,
a love as wonderous as ours.
I'd gladly give you my heart and soul,
for just one solitary kiss.

I did all that I could do,
to keep the promises I gave.
But my world came crashing down,
as my tears fell on your grave.
