Regret not the moments

In which our emotions flared

In which our eyes met

Causing our world of questions and doubts

To slow, organize and settle

Albeit only for a moment.

Regret not the kiss

That caused warm tears of joy

To bellow down your tender cheek

Forget not that these arms were made

To hold a queen such as you.

To hold a queen.

To hold only you.

May the fading powers of time

Work not against us,

May our hands never again

Be cold and alone without each other.

For you are as the moon

Causing the fallen blanket of snow

To sparkle in beauty true and through

The eleventh hour.

May your calming power

Cradle forever my needing heart.

May these words,

Though only a written, silent cry,

Find you

Bring you home

And cause that you are

Never again without me

And I, in return, am

Never again without you.
