A cold hand touches my cheek, but it is only wind,
the breeze that caressed us as we lay
peaceful and warm among the shadows,
tangled together and guarded by stars.
In Love-in a moment.

Now you walk one way and I the other,
but your voice lingers in my mind-
I hear it's broken beauty shattering the stillness,
and I know I would throw my memories away
for just one moment more with you.

But all I can lose is your ring from my hand,
a kindness and a curse, and
all I have left of you to touch.
Though I walk lonely into the years,
I won't let go.

I could not save you, could not find your path.
Were you too lost for salvation?
Perhaps, you would say. But perhaps
I was the one who lost way,
And you saved me.
