Last night when you held me
in the warmth of your arms
clasped comfortingly to your chest
whipsered words of devotion in my ear
inhaled my perfume lingering on my hair
traced the curve of my cheek
with your fingertip so very gently
is a night I would never trade
for anything in this lifetime or beyond.

For in those precious minutes
my heart beat faster than normal
my inner core came to life
my whole body seemed to tingle
the blood coursed through my viens
with a rhythm never known before
my eyes were lit by the stars from heaven
my breath caught in my throat
for at that very moment I fell in love.
