You’re beautiful

and shine from within

Youth was sweet

but not as sweet as you

if only I could hold you

I’d prove that is true

I’d kiss your curves

and caress your passion

I’d breathe into your kiss

I’d whisper to the breeze

so you’d never forget

just how beautiful you are

The way I feel

as my heart beats

I wish to share with you

so they would beat together

Our kisses would carry us

onto the clouds

so we could drift

into these dreams

of heavenly bliss

You would shine eternally

If I could breathe for you

Your soul and mine together

Oh, how they would shine

How beautiful is that?

Youth was sweet

but not as sweet as you

We’d cry to be apart

and dry our tears with smiles

Just hold me for a little while

so I can taste your touch

We’ll kiss each other

to capture joy & love

You’re beautiful

and shine for me
