They say I should have bedded you by now

That we should have shared nights of passion

Your body pressed against mine until dawn

Or at least until we get bored

They say a lot of things

But that isn't what I say

It isn't how I imagine true love to be

So here is how I wish it to be for you and me, my Love

When the time is right and trust me we'll both know

We'll choose to never part

That is when, my dearest Friend

We will share our love as one

Like a most treasured gift received

I will unwrap you layer by layer

Just as how and when we became friends

And I fell in love with each new facet of you

Slowly, gently, savoring every moment

Awestruck by your beauty

I'll take my time to explore and find

Each curve and line of your body

Looking deep into each other's eyes

We will see love for all time

The deepest respect and admiration

Held warmly in our hearts

And there I will give myself to you

Completely and utterly yours

To love as only you can do

The one whom I cherish and love
