your eyes shine bright
and your hair falls damp
curls twirl against my cheek
I squeeze you ever so tight
oh... how content
and yet so strong
your glow leaps inside this room
and back again, laying beside
the mirror of my heart
I close the gap with hands so sure
as our hearts keep beating to this song
leaning ever forward, into this day
we settle once upon our place in time
now, an oasis of serenity
gliding across your satin lips
I feel you quiver at my touch
you paint my face with locks of brown
and circle round to stake your claim
slowly we stride to rhythmic charm
discovering new heights of simple sights
exhaling in loves harmonic alarm
wasting not a moments night
