He stared deep into my eyes,
Searching.

Darling, what is it?
I whispered,
Afraid to break the moment.

His eyes smiled,
I guess he found it in me,
Whatever it was.

It's nothing, he said.
He kissed me in reassurance,
Gently, deeply,
I was lost.
And he stared again.

Tell me?
I insisted.
His eyes twinkled.

It's just that,
I was glad to be constant,
A steady tide in your life.
His voice, as always,
So smooth and sweet.

I hummed,
And he asked,
Why so sad, dove?

I showered him kisses,
Trying to engrave this moment
Into my memory.

I drowned in his eyes,
And replied,

My love,
To you,
I don't want to be
Just another passing moment.
