A Whisper

i must go, love
leaving you so content
to continue your slumber
standing over you
admiring
thanking God for you
bending for a final kiss
covering you
with a warm, soft blanket
still fragrant from our love
backing away
my eyes still on you
quietly
admiring
until the last
just before I close the door
a whisper from across the room...
i love you
