Faithfully

Smile, my angel, and smile again.
You are my love. You are my friend.
Hold and hypnotize me with your eyes,
Ocean-hued and twice its size.
Make me wonder what I was about to say
And whether the moon yet shines or if its day.

As we dance, make me want to kiss your lips
And rest my hands on your slow swaying hips.
Make me want to pull you near
To whisper wild nothings in your ear,
For surely you know I will,
Attempting without fail to faithfully fulfill.
