ROMANCE: "UNWRITTEN MELODIES (3)" BY OJIJI

I want be his Eve but no apple, I promise,

I want to be his Delilah but keep your secrets,

I want to be his Juliet and we must escape the titanic.

I want to build a home in the heart of someone who shelters my soul,  

To find joy in our closeness, and strength in every shared breath.

I want to be 'mine' to someone who’s ready to mind my business,  

To be the pen for a poet who's willing to write my mind.

I want to sleep and fall into someone’s sweet dreams,  

And wake up in our future.  

I want to come true in his dreams.

I want to live with him in moments that eternity can’t erase,  

To craft vivid memories so real they become our timeless place.
