Poem about love and loss

Before I could open my eyes,
your arms around me said good morning.
Instantly.

Before I could tell you I loved you,
you said it first.
Instantly.

Before I could say stop looking,
you read that letter.
Instantly.

Before I could say I'm sorry,
your brown eye shed a tear.
Instantly.

Before I could stop you,
you were gone.
Instantly.
