We're getting romantic, a slow, sweet bloom,

Not fireworks bursting, but a steady moon.

No whirlwind passion, no thunderous roar,

But whispers shared on a quiet shore.

The air around us crackles with a spark,

Not lightning strikes, but embers in the dark.

A stolen glance, a lingering touch so light,

A silent language spoken in the night.

We build a fire, crackling warm and low,

Sharing stories, secrets only we can know.

Laughter dances, weaving through the air,

A symphony of joy, a weightless, shared despair.

We walk hand-in-hand on paths untrod,

Discovering a world with just a gentle nod.

Sunsets painted in hues of love unfold,

Stars whispering secrets as the stories grow old.

Simple moments take on a brand new sheen,

A shared coffee break, a magazine scene.

The scent of your hair, the way your eyes ignite,

These tiny details set my soul alight.

We read poems aloud, voices soft and deep,

Lost in the rhythm as emotions leap.

Music fills the air, a melody so sweet,

Our bodies sway together, hearts begin to meet.

Candlelight flickers, casting gentle shade,

Nervous fingers meet, a promise gently made.

Silence speaks volumes, a language understood,

Two souls entwining, a blossoming good.

We write our names in sand, washed clean by the tide,

A fleeting gesture, but love won't subside.

Waves whisper secrets, carried on the breeze,

A love story forming, rustling through the trees.

We watch the sunrise, painting gold the sky,

A new beginning, a love that won't deny.

The world awakens, bathed in golden light,

Our love awakens, shining ever so bright.

No grand pronouncements, no desperate pleas,

Just gentle gestures, putting our hearts at ease.

A shared umbrella, shielding us from rain,

A silent promise to weather any pain.

We learn each other's rhythms, dreams, and fears,

Building a foundation that will weather the years.

Trust blossoms softly, a fragile, precious thing,

Nurtured with kindness, the joy that love can bring.

We dance under the moon, a waltz of two souls,

Two bodies entwined, reaching for their goals.

No need for words, a language understood,

Love's tender touch, a promise unspoken, but good.

We build a fortress, not with stone and steel,

But with trust and laughter, a love that's ever real.

A safe haven, a place where we belong,

Where worries fade away, and hearts grow strong.

This isn't a fairytale, a prince and his fair maid,

Just two hearts connecting, a love serenade.

We build our romance on a foundation true,

With gentle kindness, and dreams we'll see us through.

So let the world spin, let storms rage and roar,

Our love's a lighthouse, guiding us to the shore.

We're getting romantic, a slow, steady climb,

Two souls entwined, weathering the sands of time.
