I wish I wore white
Said the maiden in red
As the children in bed
Wished for more light

As a tear fell down my cheek
And landed on your spine
You caught it with your lips
As they softy moved in time:

"My love, my only wish tonight,
Is that you love yourself so that
You may love me
As I love you."

And all the while
This stained heart
Wishes still
That it wore white.
