Your kiss sweeter than life
And your love worth untold fortune
Your hate doth cause much strife
And puts my death in motion

When separate from you dear
My heart tis turns to ill
Yet having you so near
Doth cause my soul to fill

You wonder at the substance
Which fills my dying soul
You wonder what can heighten
this love, so beautiful

The matter which you wonder at
Is emotion new and old
There's no way to explain it
It's neither warm nor cold

It's neither fast nor slow
It never runs away
This feeling in my gut
Is forever here to stay

Let me now try to explain it,
you know it when it's there
It's almost like a virus
But the kind you want to share

It's as a special seasoning
you put upon your living
The feeling has no reasoning
And it's taking as its giving

Nothing can compare
I know not one that is deserving
To spend their life with you
But myself I'll be reserving

In case you find me worthy
To carry you through life
I'd happily stand by you
And take you as my wife*

-Till the proper season.
When asking is permitted
I'll get down on one knee
And prove that I'm committed



   Lovingly written,
          Conceived for beauty.
