We may have been seeing reflections belonging to yesterday
Perhaps they were awakened musings buried deep in memory
but something was causing our emotional footsteps to stray
upon a romantic journey that led down a path of rediscovery

Afraid to speak of it, we silently chose which lane to walk
We nervously masked our secret feelings with some idle talk,
When he curled his fingers around mine, my heart began to race
A little uncertain if this journey would end in a sweet embrace

We stepped upon an ornamental passage, into a garden maze
and witnessed Heaven's light through a mystical golden haze
It was awash in nectar blossoms of nature's fragrant flowers
In a sweet-scented arbor, we shared passion's kisses for hours

Within each others arms we took a vow and pledged our love
Witnessed by red roses and a myriad of shining stars above
We caressed each other with touches we'd long been denied
He wiped away my tears of joy, tears I hadn't known I'd cried

Seedlings grow from the ground when nurtured by the sun
Our love bloomed in the garden, as we coupled and became one
and as tender grapes slowly ripen to become rare vintage wine,
we finally surrendered to each other, hearts forever to intertwine
