As Twilight Comes

 

I have loved you since I met you,

You found be broken – lonely,

You’ve pieced me back together,

I became your “one and only.”

 

Now our time together,

Gets shorter every day,

If only just by holding you,

I could make you stay.

 

Each day I see you weaker,

I just want to make you strong,

Our twilight is getting closer,

I wish it was twice as long.

 

I will always love you,

In this there is no doubt,

I so fear what my life will be,

In a world with you without.

 

I love you.
