Yours Truly,

Come a little closer,
let your darling embrace her love.

No words need to be spoken,
escape this world in my soft embrace.
Lay your head upon my chest
and listen carefully to the sound of love.

Love overcomes all, my sweet love.

Allow my hand to brush through
the waves of your hair.
Grant me permission to trace
my fingertip over those beautiful, thick eyebrows,
down to your soft, pink bottom lip —

before the heavens witness
the truth and power
of our union.

It's true, I'll always love you.
