One Short Year

In our one short year together,

A love's grown deep within my heart

For such a certain someone,

Too soon for us to part.

To walk along beside you,

To me would be just fine.

To touch a cheek, to see a smile,

Even hold your hand in mine.

I want to be with you always

And forever have you near,

To share a tender need,

Take you in and hold you dear.

Now the time has come

For you to go away,

But I'll take comfort with the thought

That you'll be back someday.
