Didn't We Almost Have It All

I was holding my breath,
Praying that moment would never end,
Your hot breath cascading over my lips,
Your eyes piercing my flesh.

That one minute in time,
Faith existed,
We believed,
Not just in love,
But in one another.

It seems so long ago,
Ten thousand yesterdays have come and gone,
But that moment,
That feeling,
Though naive,
It was blessed.

The point where you leave the shallows,
Diving into loves depths,
Blinded by forever,
Embracing the unknown,
That was living.

Desecrated by time,
Our bond was broken,
The sanctuary of eternity,
Defiled by lies.

But that one moment,
That one second,
Faith held me,
And love did touch me.

Though it did not remain,
In that one instant,
We had everything,
But it was never enough...
