The flame of the candle flickers
Sending dancing shadows
Across the walls
And across your face.
You bend own,
Kiss my forehead
Then my lips,
Your mouth warm
Against mine.
Your eyes look into mine
And I instantly feel safe.
You hold my hand
And whisper softly to me
How I'm beautiful.
I cuddle up to you,
Soaking in your warmth and love.
I begin to relax
As I hear your heartbeat
Beating a soft rhythm,
Singing a soft, peaceful
Lullaby
I could lie here forever,
In your arms,
Feeling your affection and tenderness
Surrounding me.
This is where I want to be.
With the sound of your heart and breathe
With the feel of your body close to mine
With the smell of your warmth
And with the thought of my love for you on my mind
I drift off to sleep,
Happy,
Content,
Loved and in love.
