My Angel

Very short was the moment before she disappeared
But her sweet beauty forever marked my dreams
Her hair of a colour unknown on earth
Her lips where my envy of a kiss lies
I rushed forward wanting to speak to her, without daring

An innocent message I sent her
All hopes of an answer had left me
When a blessed day she responded
Never was my heart that I thought dead
Animated with such happiness

Since then my saver has never left my thoughts
Her splendour evoked in adoration
Fills my life with a new devoted sweetness
A single thought scares me, her departure

I have fallen in love with an Angel…
