• You all experience moments with the one you love most that seem to drag on forever.
    What you see is perfect and what you feel is more beautiful than any emotion that has yet pierced your heart.
    Once the moment finally fades, you want nothing more than to stay in that moment eternally.
    Time may steals the perfection, but your heart will never lose the beauty.

    This poem is about those moments, and the longing and pain you feel when time has come to reclaim this perfection.

    The elegant soul I now see,
    the figure in this hall,
    transcends the fairest dreams.
    Please stay there, do not fade
    to a shadow in time.

    I know change will come
    as it does for everyman.
    But, will I come to terms
    once the change is done,
    if change ends at all?

    You say my heart is strong,
    but will my soft heart fall?
    Here shall always lay this memory,
    a constant yearning for
    such moments of perfection.

    Whatever happens,
    remember you are my love.
    In this glimpse of heaven know
    you'll always be my one.
    The picture on this wall.
