Perfume and Pearls

 

The sweet scent of perfume surrounds me,

It is filling my senses with loveliness.

It reminds me of when I first met you,

A time I shall never forget.

I wore the perfume and glowing pearls,

You stared at me forever, it seemed

You walked toward me and asked me to dance,

I knew then, you were the man of my dreams.

You murmured to me of my perfume and glowing pearls,

You seemed so enthralled by the things I wore.

When the dance was over, you asked if you might call,

I was hesitant, but you did implore.

You came to me the very next night,

I wore the same perfume and pearls,

You told me that you adored me,

And would give up all other girls.

This pleased me immensely,

For you were constantly on my mind,

I loved how you adored me,

I thought of you all of the time.

After some weeks of dating,

You asked me to be your bride.

I answered you immediately,

I would be honored to be by your side.

You asked me to wear, on our wedding day,

The two things that you love so well,

The sweet perfume and the glowing pearls,

To the pealing of the wedding bells.

Since the first day of our marriage,

I have always worn just for you,

The sweet perfume and the glowing pearls.

My love is yours, only for you.
