Men have waged war
For less than the glimmer of your eyes
Empires have crumbled into the sea
For less than the touch of your hand
Constellations have drifted apart
For less than the sound of your voice

So savor it, my love

Know thy love beckons
Amidst the chorus of life's despair
Yes, thy love still beckons
Amidst echoes of jealousy's snare
