One night, it was midnight and silent Candles to set the room with ambience.

Rose petals on the floor,

The wind outside blowing the curtain.

The night felt so peaceful.

The sheets were red my lover came from another room coming to our bedroom Wearing a night red dress.

I took a glimpse she smiled.

Her eyes looked straight into my eyes As if she really felt my heartbeat.

How I feel for her,I have never felt like this before.

She came walking slowly towards me and hold my hand Put in on her Beautiful face. 

I looked at her in the eyes She closed them, I got smitten.

I took more steps towards her to feel Her skin.

She smiled and opened her Beautiful eyes. 

I Said you are my sunshine You bring light into my life As this candles do in this room.

Your aura brightens my day,

I Kissed her passionately while close to her.

Soft skin smelling like roses, 

Our heart beats sinked in together;She completes me.
