He invites me in with his golden gaze.
His smile shines through my stormy days.
When we first kissed in that coffee shop,
his lips were like licorice lollipops.

I adore his touch and tender nuzzles
and continuously collect his cuddles.
His velvety voice cradles my soul.
In his presence, I feel whole.

He’s my blanket on every cold night.
His embrace envelops me just right.
He fills the cracks in my heart.
He is the finest piece of art.

He is magnificent beyond measure.
Even his imperfections I treasure.
His loving care soothes my soul.
In his presence, I feel whole.

We fill one another's cracks with gold.
In each other’s eyes, we’ll never get old.
His golden locks are for my keys,
he is the one who completes me.
