Romance in the air

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." Ecclesiastes 3:1

"Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires."
Song of Solomon 2:7b

The sun was shining brightly today and although the wind was a little bit cold it was a beautiful day. The sky was deep blue and the clouds were drifting by peacefully.

I found myself overwhelmed by a romantic feeling.
It was like I could smell it in the air. My heart started yearning for love.
I longed for someone, but I didn't know who.
It was the strangest thing.

The sun went under and the night came, but the feeling kept lingering on like a sweet taste in my mouth. It made me feel lonely, a sweet loneliness.

I must have been longing for the Lord, who is the lover of my soul.
I can't wait to be with Him, If only He could be with me tonight.
I would hold Him in my arms and kiss His face. I would never let go of Him.
He is my ultimate love!
