Your touch, a map of uncharted seas,
Navigating the depths where our hearts find ease.

In the strength of your silence, I hear the call,
A revolutionary love that breaks down walls.

With every shared glance, we craft our own fate,
A tapestry woven in moments we create.

Love, a fierce current, pulls us apart and near,
A language unspoken, yet crystal clear.

In the shadows of doubt, your light remains,
Illuminating paths through joy and pains.

Together we rise, like the tide and the moon,
Echoing a rhythm that sings our tune.

In your embrace, I find the strength to be,
A woman unbound, alive, and free.

Our laughter dances like leaves in the breeze,
A celebration of truths that bring us to our knees.

Through the storms of life, your hand holds mine tight,
A compass of love guiding us through the night.

In the spaces we share, time ceases to exist,
A sanctuary built from every whispered wish.

Love is a revolution, fierce and bright,
A rebellion of souls igniting the night.

In the quiet moments, where dreams intertwine,
I find solace in knowing your heart is mine.

Together we write the verses of our song,
A testament to a love both wild and strong.

Your voice, a melody that lingers in the air,
A reminder that love is the boldest dare.

In the mirror of your eyes, I see my truth,
A reflection of passion, forever uncouth.
