Simple Truth


Love be still
Love be sweet
Don't you dare
Change a thing
I want to photograph you with my mind
To feel how I feel now all the time


The moonlight filtered through the room casting it’s magic on two wandering souls. A lifetime of loneliness was being erased with each touch and kiss. All the walls that were built crumbled when three sweet words,
I love you, had been whispered between them. Their hearts soared in the simple truth. They were in love!

She was entranced with his eyes and his wandering hands. “Alexis?” he whispered her name softly.

She couldn’t believe that her dreams were coming true. “Sonny.” She sighed happily.  She lifted her gaze to his. His eyes were shining in the moonlight. “I love you Alexis.” He caught her hands between his and held them close to his chest.

Say that you'll stay
Forever this way
Forever and forever
That we'll never have to change
Don't move
Don't breathe
Don't change
Don't leave
And promise me
Say you'll stay
We'll stay
This way


Sonny watched the emotions play out on her face: shock, fear and love. Looking into her tender brown eyes, the only thing shining in them was love, pure and simple.  He smiled at her as she cupped his face with her hands and leaned toward him. “I love too Sonny.”

His arms went around her and Alexis slid her arms around his neck. Sonny's embrace tightened as he buried his face in her neck. “How could I have been so blind?” he asked out loud, although he hadn’t meant for that thought to pass his lips.

I get afraid
Don't think ahead
Let's just stay
This way in bed
Feels so good inside your arms
Home is everywhere that you are


Alexis looked up at him surprised by the question. “What do you mean when you say that you were blind?”

He look at down at her perplexed face.  “This...Us...why did it take us so long to get here?”

Say that you'll stay
Forever this way
Forever and forever
That we'll never have to change
Don't move
Don't breathe
Don't change
Don't leave
And promise me
Say you'll stay
We'll stay
This way


Alexis looked away from him briefly.  “Fear,” she answered after several minutes. “We both were afraid to acknowledge our feelings for one another because love isn’t easy for either of us.”

He nodded his head in agreement.  He had let his fear of being hurt again keep him from telling Alexis how he felt. “I don’t want to live my life without love, Alexis. No one knows and understands me better than you." He extended his hand to her again. “Not only do I love you Alexis Davis but I trust you with my life.” Sonny kissed her mouth softly, with the slightest pressure of his lips on hers.

Don't move
Don't breathe
Don't change
Don't leave
Promise me
We'll always be
This kind, this sweet
This good to me
Promise me
You'll always be


“You have my heart too.  It’s been yours for a very long time. I've just been waiting for you to claim it.” Alexis sighed as her neck was awarded with a trail of kisses.

“I must warn you, once something is mine, I have a hard time letting go.” he cautioned while nibbling on her earlobe.

Say that you'll stay
Forever this way
Forever and forever
That we'll never have to change
Don't move
Don't breathe
Don't change
Don't leave
And promise me
Say you'll stay
We'll stay
This way


“Promise?” she whispers near his ear. "'Cause I’m terrible at letting go too.”

Sonny lifted her into his arms. “I’m giving you my heart and never taking it back. That’s a promise.”

Say that you'll stay
Forever this way
Forever and forever
That we'll never have to change
Don't move
Don't breathe
Don't change
Don't leave
And promise me
Say you'll stay
We'll stay
This way


They made love on the living room floor for the first time. The moonlight cast a beautiful silhouette of their imtimate dance on the wall. Their journey of love had just begun and the moon was bearing witness.
