Angel Too Soon

I looked into your eyes
And saw pain
I looked deeper
And saw peace
Forever in a moment
The stars yours to reach

I held you close
As you drifted far
Tighter in my arms
You couldn't be
Gone forever
Gone beyond my reach

I loved you too much
To let you go
But not enough
To keep you close
Our past kept us together
Till the last bindings broke

I listened to your heart
And heard it no more
As mine tore
I couldn't keep it beating
In a moment too soon
You were gone

Your last breath
My first alone
My last memory of you
The moment you became
An angel too soon
