She is easy as a winter breeze
The moon is in her eyes
I can go off to sleep
Hides among fireflies and buzzes like bees
She is like a silhouette, cold
Her hair parts to the left
The cleft of her chin has a slight impress
A face I would not likely left, forget
Her heart has words that I cannot express
She is as dark as a shadowy sonnet
Why are we, two lovers
Like Romeo and Juliet?
And I love her, madly
She doesn't know it, yet
She spends her days plucking flowers for answers
The moon is in her eyes
I can go off to sleep
Hides among fireflies and buzzes like bees
She is like a silhouette, cold
Her hair parts to the left
The cleft of her chin has a slight impress
A face I would not likely left, forget
Her heart has words that I cannot express
She is as dark as a shadowy sonnet
Why are we, two lovers
Like Romeo and Juliet?
And I love her, madly
She doesn't know it, yet
She spends her days plucking flowers for answers
