Woven together tightly

is how we cuddle nightly.

Nothing feels sweeter,

nothing could be any neater.

I listen to you breathe

and I don’t believe

I’ve ever been this happy.

I lie awake staring

 out of the window at a full moon,

enjoying a peaceful night in June.

How beautiful it is all full in color

just hanging there in the sky,

as I lie here next to my guy.

You wake up from time to time

and look at me

with your smiling eyes,

and I whisper “go to sleep my sweet prince,

for it will soon be time to rise.”

You dutifully turn over,

and just like that

you were sound asleep.

I am still unable to catch up with sleep.

I think it’s because of the full moon

and that I am so happy,

I could just leap.

Too much energy to sleep.

I am in love

and in love deep.

A smile comes across my face

at my new revelation.

No wonder I feel I could run a race.

I must awaken you

so that we can share in this together.

I gently touch your hair

as light as a feather.

I whisper in your ear

that I have something to tell you.

You immediately awaken ready to hear.

I look at you with a loving expression

and begin to tell you my revelation.

I realized that I am in love with you.

Not knowing how you would react

I divert my eyes away from you.

You touch my face with a gentle hand

and said, “I’m glad, because I love you too.”

We melted into each others arms

happy to have each other,

as the one and only lover.
