I have this girl, and she is the love of my life.
Somehow with her everything seems brighter.
She makes me smile, makes my heart sing.
To me she’s a lover, to the world she’s a fighter.
The sun shines in through the window,
And captures the most beautiful thing.
My girl lays there asleep, unaware,
That around her, the sun is dancing.
It captures each piece of gold in her hair,
Sketches the shadows of her spine on her back.
And I know that if her eyes were open,
They would be a golden halo surrounding black.
Though the nights with her are amazing.
And we kiss and touch and inwards we fold,
The mornings to me are perfect because I see her,
Unaware to the beauty that she holds.
