Only us

I never cared,
About the size of the diamond,
You'd offer me,
Or the flowers that sit,
Wilting in the afternoon heat,
Only us,
The simplicity,
Of cuddling,
Tangled up in the sheets,
Your hands skimming,
Across the heated skin,
And me,
Breathing the scent of you in,
I cared more for the heart within,
Never mind,
If you crowned me with flowers,
And only daisies for a ring,
I would have loved you still,
For that strong, faithful heart,
That lovingly beats beneath,
The warmth of your chest,
And the darkness of your eyes,
That captured me,
And safe arms that hold me,
Away from the cold winds.
