Almost

Never knew love could be
The sunlight on your tanned face
Revealing such depth beneath those eyes,
Such a warm, contented passion.

Could words begin to know
All I've been searching for?
Yet, one touch is everything.

Here is your paradise,
Your half-unwritten book of life .
You and I will be forever more?

And then time, the enemy,
Steals the sun,
And we must move on.

And maybe you will never know how much
I loved you.
