Even Shakespeare's loveliest sonnets,
Could never compare to the beauty of your eyes.
With midnight rising and morning nearing,
I'll look for you below my window.
The stars blaze like candles,
Proving the perfect lighting for highlighting your face.
To simply catch a glimpse of you would be breathtaking.
So I'll listen attentively for your footsteps in the darkness.
To call you the man of my dreams would be a lie,
Because with you around I simply never sleep.
The man sauntering into my daydreams is more adequate.
Here I am waiting for you to make my daydreams tangible again.
I hear rustling in night's shield of darkness.
My pulse quickens with your very presence.
I forget how to breathe when the starlight dances along your features like that.
And there you stand looking up at me.
With a smile playing on the corners of your mouth,
And with a dozen roses in hand,
You whisper the words my heart desires to hear,
"I love you."
