The day was filled with lots of splendor-
softspoken words and kisses tender.
There were gentle caresses,
the twilring of tresses,
mixed with the warmth 
of cuddles and hugs.
The soft skin against soft skin
and the coz'ness 'tween souls 'kin.
gave a feeling of being at home.


With a love so true and a love so deep
that pen'trates to the very core of the bones
leaving desires for Ever
and a will to part Never,
still this day must end,
and still I must depart
until our paths' next mark
though I can't wait until I see you again
So until then my sweet,
Goodnight fair maiden,
may the dawn bring beauty to your eyes.


I love you.
