Shedding Our Skin Within the Roots of Our Love

baked salmon and breadsticks
tortilla soup and baby shrimp salad
your smile and your charm
sincere enjoyment and natural fun
funny conversation and hearty laughter
nobody else....just us two
comfortable in our skin....letting our true selves shine
tonight, we do not have to be 'on'
no spotlights....no curtains
just you, me, and no hint of a number three
lemon cream cake and butter ocean ice cream
extra thick oreo shake and crustless cheesecake
your femininity....your worth
so relaxed....so content
ole mike was right....love never felt so good....
