I fell in love
With your soul first
Then I discovered
You have more
Your heart is made of gold.
I may not be
Your first love,
But promise me
I will be your last.
The best night is that
When my head rests on your chest
You caress my hair
And wishper into my ear
I’ll come tomorrow again.
When I text you
“Good Morning”
It means you are my
First and important
Thought of the day.
Because
I want to nourish your love
In my heart
And cherish your love
In my memory forever.
