In the safety of darkness 

Curled up in his arms.

She nuzzled his chest

And whispered quietly, 

~

I love it when you call me names.

~

In the shroud of darkness

Entwined in her arms.

He pulled her closer still

And whispered softly back,

~

I love it when I call you names.

~

As the dawn approached 

Surrounded in each other’s arms.

They merged together swiftly 

And cried out together loudly!

~ ~

We smile and say to each other.

These names are ours alone,

I’m not sharing you,

and I’m not sharing them!
