Edmund Blair Leighton "Sweets to the Sweet"

"I Read Your Lips"
 
 I read your lips on paper Dear
They spoke to me, so very clear
I felt you close, so very near
You whispered sweetly in my ear.
 
 You spoke of love and holding tight
 Dark winter seas and  cold wind's bite
 I wish that I had stayed that night
 You touched my soul, it felt so right.
 
 Sweet memories we still can share
 A Love soft, tender, and so rare
 We dared to hope that each still cared
 Heart felt prayers borne on the air.
 
 Your love for me, a treasure great
 Found once again, and not too late
 To plan a plan, though we must wait
 Trust still, My Love, We have a date!
