In Your Blue Eyes

In the hours that quickly passed, I lay aside my fears to what I would succumb. Reluctant and adamant from first to last you swore no possibility of this outcome. In somber shadows I made my way forewarned and gracefully embracing straining with effort to get through the day, the hours and minutes lagged yet were racing. I saw it briefly, right there in your blue eyes and knew for sure, now would be my turn to cry. I touched your hand and kissed your head as i lay down next to you in the old bed Wrapping an arm around your frail shoulders and holding you close, there was no growing older but for a single second of love once unmatched I cradled the moment my love was dispatched.
