I loved you only...
Before i was ever born
While in my mother's womb
Under starlit skies
While dancing with the moon
Or in the bowels of earth
Tossed about by high seas
Flying in a glider
Hunting in the valley
Climbing high mountains
Floating in the Northern ice
Sweating in the tropic war
.....I LOVED YOU

I'll love you only...
In my joyous moments
Or when shadow grips my soul
Among the clouds i'm walking
Before swift tornadoes
When bathing in sweet waters
While burning in hot sands
Reclining on my bed
Playing with a puppy
Cycling past the trees
Pricked by many rose thorns
Yearning that i greet you
.....I AM YOUR BODY

I'll love you only...
While earth is still growing
Or should it disappear
When sitting on park benches
While warmed by your embrace
Throughout all tainted ages
After horrid battle
Lying wounded, dying
If being cruel and thoughtless
Or loving you so gently
Alone or in a crowd
.....YOU ARE MY SUBSTANCE

I'll love you only when...
Driving into snow banks
Walking through great cities
Saving children falling
Fighting fearful dreams
Foolish loss of fortune
And its long retrieving
Watching buildings tower
Swimming dangerous waters
Fleeing mortal wars
.....LET ME DIE TRUE
