Velvet

Just when I thought
Everything was gone
Out of nowhere
You appeared
I would be lying
If I said
I didn't fall for you
From the first time I saw you

The fire beside us
The silence around us
I could have stayed
With you for hours
The velvet of your voice
The glaze of your eyes
Caught me by surprise
Lost and mesmerized
The curve of your lips
And the glow on your skin
I'll never recover
Engraved in my mind

Can't bear to think
About walking through this life
Not seeing your smile
That cruel fate denies
What darkness may come
What goodness may go
I'll always remember
I'll never let go
