A Snapshot In Time

She could not reach out to touch him
But they were as one, through space and time
United as one soul together, understanding all
She gazed down on him in sheer wonder
This Adonis this truly beautiful embodiment of man
She could hear his breathing, feel his breath
As she silently observed him in sheer wonder and awe
And praised the heavens for this, her one true love
She gently then, like a soft breeze, placed a kiss on his lips
Sleep well my darling, dream sweet dreams she whispered 
And then with a flicker he was suddenly gone 
The moment stayed in her memory, like a snapshot in time.
