All of You

While life stands still,

I see all of you.

Everything unmoving,

yet I move through life.

All of myself,

thinking of you.

Time, once frozen,

now thaws with love

but I never forget

the touch of your words,

just yours.

You said you no longer

love me,

that I would never wear

the golden ring. Still

Still, life stands still,

and I see all of you.

Though love unreturned

may ache and burn

its light remains

forever undimmed.

For love is its own,

a radiant flame

needing no answer,

only to give.
