i love you with all of my darkness and all of my light like a midnight flower blossoming,
hinged like a door i battle to reach you
i know only of our love, i'm a blue mood and a strange sea, weeping in winter's silver frost,
your fiery legs leave me longing like a jealous cloud longs to dream of the night and hold it as its own,
i'm crazy about your legs, crazy, crazy, crazy about your love,
and i melt as you kiss me crazy jealous of your love.
