For One Precious Moment

For one precious moment,
I looked in your eyes
and I saw my world in your gaze.
I changed in an instant,
my heart filled with love
so strong that I'm still amazed.

You were mine
for one precious moment,
in my heart for eternity.
In my soul,
I'll hold you forever -
loving you has made me complete.

For one precious moment,
the world made more sense
and you gave me strength to go on.
I felt love so pure
it melted my heart -
it gave me hope that I'd never known.

You were mine
for one precious moment,
in my heart for eternity.
In my soul,
I'll hold you forever -
how your life has made me complete.

You're in my heart
and you'll be there forever,
in my soul for eternity.
In your hands,
you held my heart captive -
loving you has made me complete.

Loving you has made me complete.


How long is long enough to love someone completely? Would you be satisfied with a minute, an hour, a day, a week, a month, a year, 10 years, 20 years, 30 years? A lifetime? Is a lifetime even enough time to have with the people you love? Is that enough time to tell them, to show them how much they mean to you? Is it enough time to experience everything there is to know about love?

I firmly believe that no amount of time on this earth will ever be enough for me with my loved ones. There will always be one more thing I could have done, one more word I could have said, one moment I would wish I could have back. So, for as long as I am able, I have to love like this is the only moment I'll ever have with them. I have to love enough for a lifetime because, in my reality, even 100 years, once they have passed and my time with my loved one is at an end, will still feel like they passed in the blink of an eye.

Take time to celebrate love - each and every precious moment.
