Under the coverlet, where once we lay
Our limbs entangled and yet so far away
Your pale skin red with warmth, with lips so sweet
As you lie beside me, soundly asleep
At every sight of you that I did sneak
My heart would jump, it would skip a beat
Your eyelashes black with mascara from the night before
I couldn’t help it but want to touch you even more
I mischievously pulled at the blanket surrounding your feet
As you adorably moaned
Your drowsy smile so playful and childlike in its way
As if you were dreaming of love, that needed no words to explain
Delicately brushing the hair from your face
I kissed you on the corner of your lips
Under the coverlet, where once we lay
My love for you started and I must let it fade away
