During those moments between us two

when I am lying beside you,

gently disturbing the silence so sweet,

I can hear the echo of your heartbeat.

Your soft sighs whisper like a melody.

I hear you breathe while lying beside me.

Serenely surrendering to night’s air,

I lay and listen, holding you there.

Simple yet majestic, sensual yet pure,

thank God for the favor of married love’s lure!

I kiss you carefully then join you in sleep,

lulled by the soothing rhythm of your heartbeat.
