How Could She Have Known?

A (dark) snapshot of love.

Gazing at him adoringly,
How could she have known hurt?
Holding his hand close to her heart;
Where he had mended her biggest cut.

Kissing his lips reverently,
How could she have known tears?
Feeling his fingers on her cheeks;
Quelling all her greatest fears.

Caressing his face fondly,
How could she have known hate?
Keeping him impossibly close;
He was her true soul mate.

Wanting him so truthfully,
How could she have known a life apart?
Loving him from heart and soul;
She knew they would never part.

Embracing him readily,
How could she have known a mistake?
And seeing the love in her eyes,
He could never admit that his love was fake.
