‘You are beautiful’, I whisper to her
in warm but silent words;
her hair fell to the side of her face
over her shoulder like a veil
revealing her slim tanned neck
that I loved to kiss;
the candlelight glowed on her cheeks
as I lost myself in her eyes

This is love for she is in my waking thoughts
And nightly dreams, my heart heavy for her
When we’re apart and the sigh in my soul
Whenever we touch.

‘You are beautiful’, she senses the words
that he whispers into the wind
she feels his gentle hand upon her face
knocking a veil of hair upon her shoulder
revealing her neck that she loved to feel
his tender touch and passionate kisses
the candlelight in his eyes
‘but this feeling inside…’ and she turns away.
