Everyone told me but I knew better
Trade a lifetime of joy for one alone
Shared far too much in one little letter
If only, if only I would have known

A proposition I couldn't refuse
An agreement based on baser instinct
I won't ever say I wasn't enthused
My love was rejected right on the brink

We have many adventures still ahead
Separately, but I wish you hold me dear
Where we were, gardens lush, few seldom tread
I can only pray to quell biased fear

If ever my stained soul finds you again
Before our trials have found proper end
I should think to call you my long lost friend
With fullness of love embrace you once again
