Reluctantly handing it over

Hope is…
The glimmer of laughter
The depression dissipating into the air around me
My life put on hold
Just to be here a little longer.

Comfort is…
Sleeping beauty in my arms…
Just to be this close to her
Puts my problems at bay
And my soul jumps for joy.

Love is…
The feeling inside
When she is torn from my eyes…
Over…
And over…
and over.
