With Every Second That I CanI hold her face within my handsIn the darkness of night and tellHer that I love her like no other. I look into her eyes to see a Youth riddled by my heart andWatch a love tinted in sorrowAnd a strength Ive never seen before. The silence that falls on my words,I understand all too clearly withMy mind, but my heart just doesntWant to let go. For she is beauty and perfectionTo me, and one day Ill haveTo watch her leave, until thenThough Ill love her with everySecond that I can.
