Early one morning
Before the sun dared shine through our window
I watched you sleep
I knew this was a moment to savor
Because once gone
IT CAN NEVER RETURN
The rollers that you wore
Made the hair that I adore
Bend to your will
The scent of the creams and oils
That caress your skin
Swarmed my senses
Only a woman can keep age at bay
I live for this moment
Because once gone
IT CAN NEVER RETURN
If I could live my life for a single moment
It would be a moment like this
At peace with you
At peace with the world
Basking in the memory of why we are together
Before the world demands our attention
I want to savor this moment
Because once gone
IT CAN NEVER RETURN
