Every Snowflake

Every snowflake on her face,
Somehow seemed out of place.
How could it settle on someone,
Who never settled?

Every moment ran like a race,
Time never even touched her face.
I aged like a withering flower,
And she blossomed like a rose.

A lifetime in boundless grace,
For me, one in second place,
I was like a ghost, a shipwreck,
An ancient relic gathering dust.

Every teardrop down my face,
Seemed perfectly in place.
Snatched away from me,
Her smile echoes eternity.
