I enjoyed this romantic little number. You have a feel for rhythm. I even liked the 'plush' line which was a bit jarring. Sort the last verse out though. It's absolute rot. Your inclusion of 'sesame eyes' in the last verse is contrived and out of context with your descriptive manner elsewhere, and particularly in that verse.
