Flashes of white
Warm and beautiful.

Dancing silhouettes play quietly in the moonlight.

Lanterns flicker
Candlers whisper

Canopy of light
Casting out the night.

Dancing slow
Holding tight

Your eyes aglow
such a beautiful sight.

I take pause to breathe it in.

My heart so full
I fear I may sink

My head spinning
twirling
round and round.

This is the moment I have waited for for so many years
So many lonely nights
Suffering silently
forcing a smile.

But now that's over and you're here
and you're perfect.

This place is perfect
silhouettes dancing,
the glowing lights.  

The melody of the music
the warmth of your smile.

Happiness surrounds me
a canopy of light,
as long as I have you.
