She lies with me and we are still

Yet in my mind, forever moving,

images of her, so many fill

my senses; exciting, soothing,

and I forever see and smell and feel:

her eyes, her hair, her skin, her smile

and every place and time with her is real

inside my memory. And all the while

she lies asleep, not knowing that all the days

and joys and pain and love and song

are with me now, and now and always.

No moment shared is ever gone,

the whole of our togetherness is now

and it is she who makes it so.
