In My Love Today

I watched you sleeping
I could see you breathing
The way your neck moved
A single pulse of a heartbeat
A single moment 
Signified
You were alive
You were here
Your heartbeat
Alongside mine
Today 
For a few hours
We were as one
As delicate
As two people
In love
Can be
I watched you live
In my arms
In my love today
