I had loved you before you were born I knew you were in the unknown waiting to innate I adored when you were a child a gift of love I looked after you in the awkward teenager years I saw you one day before I stood the woman I hallucinated, the perfection of my dream I declared my love for you, and you said: don't be silly Don I saw you getting married and I cried in the night I hope you will put red roses on my grave I love the colour of love
