It's early in the evening, an hour till sunset. The sun is warm on our skin and the smell of the sea next to us fills our senses. The table is garnished with two small vases of the deepest red roses I could find. A single white rose sat in the middle of the table standing higher than the others. It was a sign of my love for you and how you mean more to me than anything else. The smile on your ruby red lips and the look in your heart-stopping eyes, making me fall in love with you all over again.
Dinner is served to us with some sweet red Merlot. We talk endlessly about anything and everything. All the while, I can't help but see how beautiful you are, how amazing it is to be with you and how lucky I am to be your man. The way the sun gently brushes your face and highlights your hair is mesmerizing. When we're both finished eating, I slowly stand up and walk over to you.
Bending to give you sweet kisses, our tongues meet allowing us to enjoy the taste of one another. Gently I slip my hand into yours noticing how soft it is compared to mine. Lightly I squeeze your hand and help you stand. I'm so in love with you everything seems to be moving in slow motion, I can't help but wish this could last forever. Slipping my hand around your waist and placing it on your hip; I guide you as we walk down to the waterline to look at the horizon.
The sun is beginning to set and my timing is perfect. We stop for only a moment to feel the warmth of the sand beneath our bare feet, working it in between our toes and feeling the coolness of the sand beneath the surface. Looking at you I see you smiling, I can't help but wonder what's going through your mind right now.
Walking further down the beach and closer to the surf we await the cool rush of the ocean against the tops of our toes. The ocean nips at our feet as we keep walking, still talking, enjoying each others' company. Stopping, I spin you around just as the sun begins to set. The sky is a beautiful collage of reds, blues, yellows, and purples. The moon can be seen behind us just above the earth. The breeze blowing in from the sea, chilling our skin and sending goose bumps across our arms.
Leaning into me you slip both of your arms lovingly around my neck and gently pull me down towards you. Gazing into each others' eyes we tell one another that we love each other. Still smiling I bend down slightly and our lips meet. Our kisses are so gentle, ensuring there's no doubt in either of our minds that we care for each other. We stand like that for several minutes, allowing our tongues to dance, exploring each others mouths. Giving you soft kisses on your neck, I notice your chest pressed slightly more into mine, your breathing getting a little deeper and your sighs more noticeable.
I whisper into your ear, "If there's a heaven, I hope this is it. I hope I can feel the softness of your cheek against mine, the warmth of your breathe on my neck, the taste of your lips on my tongue; I wish I could hear your voice tell me you'll love me forever. I love you Princess." As I lean back you notice a gleam in my eyes that wasn't there before, but you ask no questions.
