Though we enter the world
at no will of our own
we must face our fates
and face the unknown
in the course of our lives
lie a great many fears,
an abundance of joy
and showers of tears
times that are happy
and times that are sad
adventures, ordeals
some good and some bad
yet our greatest emotion
that stands high above
the most beautiful feeling,
the one we call love.




Love me forever and ever
I'll never betray of
Our promise together
The ever-lit ember
That burns in our hearts
Abating the dark of
Which our lives were once so much a part
Until we became one,
The same
Melted together from a single flame
Only to spend our lives
To the end with each other
One another
As we share our love together




Looking at you,
into your eyes
I realize
you cause no fears, no shame
you tell no lies
you take all of me
just as I come
you want no changes;
you need none
just as I need none in you
what you are is true
pefection without alteration
the sweetest sensation I know
Is knowing all of you.
