I will fall in love
With the man
Who took

*The stars
For his eyes

The sweetest fruit
For his smile

The reddest plum
For his lips

The nightingale's song
For his voice

The caress of a mother
For his touch

Samson's strength
For his will

And the purest love
For his heart.

Was it you or was it I
Who took the first turn
And said goodbye?

It doesn't matter now
I moved on or haven't
I don't know how.

Then just when I was about to take
The next steps away from you
You came for me.

I have traveled far
But there was nowhere to go
I didn't say no.

*Loving you then
Is like taking a ride back home
After a long time being lost.

My Beauty
If it's our only way
To happily ever after
I'd gladly be
Your Beast.

I kept all
The pictures we had
And the things you gave
In a box and labeled it
Forever.

I was hoping someday
I'll open it without pain
With happiness and the love left
Or the love that came back
*Or the love that has always remained.

It was hard for you to say no,
I told you you should learn to decline sometimes,
And in the many times you could have said no,
In the very rare moments you did say it,
You said no to me.
