How she let her long hair down over her shoulders, making a love cave around her face. Return and return again.

How when the lamplight was lowered she pressed against him, twining her fingers in his. Return and return again.

How their legs swam together like dolphins and their toes played like little tunnies. Return and return again.

How she sat beside him cross-legged, telling him stories of her childhood. Return and return again.

How she closed her eyes when his were open, how they breathed together, breathing each other. Return and return again.

How they fell into slumber, their bodies curled together like two spoons. Return and return again.

How they went together to Otherwhere, the fairest land they had ever seen. Return and return again.

O best of all nights, return and return again.

How she let her long hair down over her

Shoulders, making a love cave around her

Bubbly face, return and return again.

How she pressed against him, stroking his hair,

As he lovingly stared into her eyes

Return and Return again. Laughing and

Telling jokes of their past and playing games

How their bodies fit snugly like pillows

Softly forming around a tired face

Return and return again. Until the

Sun started to hide, and the sky turned pink

How his hair fell in his face as he looked

Up at her, return and return again.

How they watched their favorite tv shows

Until they drifted off, wrapped up on the

Big, soft couch, return and return again.

How they fell into slumber, their bodies

curled together like two spoons. Return and

return again. How they loved each other,

And how their eyes locked when they crossed paths

As a door locks and no key is to be found

Return and return again. And if she

Needed help, he was there to assist her

In anything she needed, and her him

How they worked together, like partners

And how they acted like best friends; they were

Return and return again. How their days

Shone together, brightening up the Earth

Shedding light with every glance and smile

And how her dreams were intertwined with his

They were as one, they acted as a whole

Return and return again.
