Oh, you are life to me.
The one I  ever love.
Oh, I suffer and worry
over how to get and keep your love.
Oh, with the coin of my heart
and the coin of my soul
I seek to exchange for the coin of your love.
Such a small and insignificant thing to you
the whole world to me.
Oh, how I beg and throw myself at you feet
that there is yet just a small place
in your heart for me.
Oh, without you my life is over
and my race is run
and my sun sets forever.
into an eternal night and winter.
Oh, lovely exotic creature
from a faroff land
how the world knows not
all my love for you.
Oh, how this world would call me a fool
and heap ridicule upon ridicule
in its disdain of my love for you
as though I had comitted a great crime.
I do not care! I have stopped caring long ago.
Oh, if you take all this hope
all this hope of your love form me
then take a poison tipped blade
and plunge it deep into my heart.
Oh, how this would be more merciful by far
than the slow death
that I would die without your love.
Oh, your silence is more painful
than a thousand whips upon my flesh
when I beg you to say the words
the words I long to hear
"I love you."
those words!
Oh, how I live and die by them!
Oh, if you were to say those wordss
how the sound of your voice
would be sweeter then honey
and more lovely than the song birds
upon an early spring morning.
Oh, angel of eternal heavenly light
no tongue can tell
of the depth of my love for you!
