All imperfection set out on display
Silly discomforts and insecurities
The silent whispers that we convey
As we lay together in this ecstasy

No sound is made, but no word is left unsaid
Love surrounds us, fills the air
This act will not be regretted, there will be no dread
Sweet memories replay as you touch my hair

Hold on to me baby, scoot a bit closer
Allow me to feel the beat of your heart
Compose a beautiful melody, your heart will become the composer
Allow us to get lost in the beat, caught in the alluring art of this night.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
