Years ago you caught my eye,
A soul so gentle and kind,
I oft recall your first words to me,
A snapshot in my mind.

Playing and laughing, time stood still,
Our spirits allowed destiny to consume,
We felt that bond that tied us both,
A snapshot of two lives in bloom.

Our first kiss, indeed electric and full of need,
I recall my hands roaming through locks of hair,
That first day, my love, held in my arms,
A snapshot beyond compare.

I see us cuddled in front of the fire ablaze,
A shivering winter’s night is the reason,
The ember’s glow surrounds both you and me,
A snapshot for the season.

T'was always the allure of your ever soft lips
The twinkle of play your face did proclaim
We were right, and good, and meant to be
A snapshot of loving comfort in frame.

Your eyes so close in front of me,
Our hearts in union did chime
My one true love, in deep embrace
A snapshot for all time.

And just like that our eyes close now,
Blinded by an approaching dazzling light
Fulfilled, our time together has now passed
A snapshot into the night.
