She sat there on the sofa, soft hair shining in the light
An angel of the evening as I stared with sheer delight.
The music on the stereo set mood romantically
And I was sure that she could sense love pouring out of me.

She looked at me with such a glance that I felt I was sure
It was an open invitation,although she looked demure.
The candlelight shone in her eyes..lips smiled invitingly
There was no doubt her love within was calling out to me.

I got up from my chair. I needed to be by her side.
The coffee table in the way I gently shoved aside.
I stood there, looking down at her, then reached out for her hand
As she looked up and gave a smile that said, "I understand"

She slowly rose, her eyes on mine, the smile was still in place
My knees felt they could buckle from the beauty of her face.
Then, as we stood there, smiling, while worlds disappeared from view
I put her hand up to my lips and whispered, "I love you."

I bent my face down to her lips and kissed her tenderly
And felt her arms surround my neck and hold me willingly.
The kiss grew stronger,,,stronger still. Her body pressed to mine
And I knew I would love this girl until the end of time.

Then someone shut the music off and turned the lights up bright
As people put their jackets on and gaily said goodnight.
My sofa girl then smiled at me and I smiled back, in kind
While feeling very fortunate she hadn't read my mind......
