To John Poem by chris schwartz

Beauty in my life,
was always measured
In seconds, not years.
Good things happened quickly,
But those memories faded
As the demons were quick
To take away my smiles.
Forward to you…
You killed the demons
And made me feel beautiful
For not just seconds,
But for a lifetime.
You took away my pain.
We didn't get to love
For long,
But, we got to love
Forever.
When you promised yourself
To me,
I was finally able
To rest.
In Peace.
In love.
At ease.
That is a gift,
More precious than time,
Something we were
Never allowed.
And for that,
I am grateful.
