As I sit by the shore,
On this serene, starry night,
Seeing you by my side,
The waves dance in delight.
There is so much said in silence
As you gently hold my hand,
Even the wind, impressed,
Starts sketching in the sand.
You look at me, with eyes
Whose beauty no words can tell,
For they are filled with mischief,
And enchanting innocence as well.
As you lay your head upon my shoulder,
You seem to magically ease my pain,
For your smile has the warmth of a flame,
And the freshness of morning rain.
Is that a bird singing far away?
Or maybe, nearby? I cannot say.
For at this moment, I am lost in you;
Just you, my love.
