The flame of the candle next to me
Lights up your face from the photo I am holding
A soft, warm, yellow light
My heart fills itself with love
Your eyes, dark brown, staring at me
Like they are already wondering
Who may get to see this photo in the future
An asking and curious look on your face
Your face that looks so soft in touch
While your eyes try to look hard
Trying to show you can handle anything
You will survive anything
The words you said to me
Many times before
Pop up in my mind and thoughts
"Babe.. I am your superman.."
