'The Day the Whole World Went Away'

I cannot love someone without beauty.
Our last day together,
sitting on your couch,
I could not have been more content
than with my head against your chest.
But all that time and I'd yet to see your beauty,
still I loved you.
As you discussed video games with Jim,
Was it the sunlight,
Or my sixth sense telling me:
You'd better see it now, cause you'll never see him again.
Well, that day, the last day
I was allowed to love you,
I saw the most intense beauty flow from you.
It surrounded you,
Took my breath away
I could not look away from you.
How were you oblivious to my stare?
It was too late though,
and your aura that once warmed me
Turned me to ice.
