True Love

When falls between us stillness of the night
Our hearts in peace sway with sweet conviction
Beneath the stars dear lips that reunite 
Succumbing to divine blest addiction

Full lustrous moon hangs high up in the sky
The two of us kick back as days wind down
Hovers a harmony we can’t deny
Reminiscent of fab times all around

Through thick or thin carried out our mission
A loving life we crafted as we please
The dreams we cast have come to fruition
Upon a balmy perfumed summer breeze

With angels overlooking from above
Years paved a steadfast path toward true love
