Mortal love

Brief
Ephemeral
Short-lived
Passing
I know our love is doomed.
I know my life
is but a second
in your eternity.
My only comfort is your memory
your promise to let me live forever
in your mind
in your soul
in your spirit.
I cannot grasp it
only save the moments
collect the precious seconds
gather desperately
yet knowing
they are not mine to keep.
Where I go you cannot follow.
Hold me!
