Forever's Lament/Picture On The Wall

(I play on revising this one. It is a 10-minute poem, therefor it's a bit rough.)

The elegant soul I now see;
the figure in this hall
transcends the fairest dreams.
Please stay there, do not fade
to a shadow in time.

I know change will come
as it does for everyman.
But, will I come to terms
once the change is done,
if change ends at all?

You say my heart is strong,
but will my soft heart fall?
Here shall always lay this memory,
a constant yearning for
such moments of perfection.

Whatever happens,
remember you are my love.
In this glimpse of heaven know
you'll always be my one.
The picture on this wall.
