From the Courtship Collections--An Evening Date

An Evening Date

Once, we lay beneath a starlit sky
And the sheaves of wheat seemed to bow
before the grandeur of our sighs.
I opened my heart to yours that day
Wishing to stay, for eternity, as we lay.

When we were spirits free from mortal mesh
And love unbound in hearts of flesh
It was then my aching heart
would yearn to meet.
Your love--a love that made me complete.
I won't forget you or the love I felt with you.
For I must love because I live
And life in me is what you give.
