Love Poem: Sequins and Lace

Sequins and Lace

Her hair drapes down across my chest
As the candles glow softly subsides
There's petals on the pillows from the roses I picked
And she blushes like the worlds finest wine

Her skin feels like silk in my arms
And our lips finally meet
The love we make, feels more like fate
Right there on those white satin sheets

They say that all good things must end
But the beauty she wears on her face
Is why I stay in the here and the now
And she's traded her sequins for lace

Sequins for lace
A gown, for an embrace
She no longer goes on
Feeling her hearts been misplaced

Finding true love
Is never a mistake
So go on and trade in 
Your sequins for lace

So many times we get complacent
And we wonder just where we went wrong
Not knowing that sometimes what's meant to be
Is not always written in stone

She sighs as she whispers, I love you
She knows that she's found the right place
She'd gladly start over, she thought to herself
And trade in her sequins for lace

Sequins for lace
A gown, for an embrace
She no longer goes on
Feeling her hearts been misplaced

Finding true love
Is never a mistake
So go on and trade in 
Your sequins for lace

It seemed like forever, she thought he'd never ask
To take of her hand, she never looked back
The white picket fence that waited for her
Replaced all her heartache with one simple word

Anytime that you find love, its worth the wait
Sometimes it can stares you right in the face 
But what matters, is that you find one, that's willing to take
You from today, to forever, to sequins and lace  

So if there's no warmth left, within his embrace
Find love and share your sequins and lace
