La Ville Lumière

 

Anticipation fills my day

Thinking of you and I alone to explore

A city that encourages such adventure

Excitement flowing through our veins

Anticipation fuels my imagination

Waiting breathlessly for the day to arrive

When we walk in the steps of our daydreams

Energy awakening our spirit and mind

Anticipation interrupts my sleep

Knowing soon our time will come

Where we share new experiences together

Passion leading the way of our thoughts

Anticipation overwhelms my soul

Longing for that moment to connect

With you on a memorable journey

Exhilaration defining our being

Anticipation gives way to amazement

Realizing the time is finally here

For you and I to embark on this adventure

Desire guiding us through La Ville Lumière.
