He could taste the salty ocean
As the droplets hit his face,
He laughed as he watched her
Shake loose her golden locks
Of ocean wet.
The sun was hot and shone
Fierce rays of mid afternoon
Yet nothing glowed more
Than the sparkle of blue
Eyes upon him.
“You know you make me
Smile so good,” he murmured
As he pulled her body close.
The cool damp of her was
Refreshing as it touched the
Dry heat of his skin.
“I know I do,” she answered
With a coy look and smile.
“And you know what else
I know about you?”
She teased him twirling her
Fingers in his hair.
Waiting till their eyes locked,
She whispered, “I know
No matter how macho man you be
You simply melt every time
You are around me…
Every single time.”
What he said in return
Grabbed hold of her heart
And kissed the very centre
Of her hungry aching soul,
“Well maybe, it’s because,
I’m in love with you. ”
And that day under the sun
Marked the moment her heart
Was forever won.
