From the depths of my heart, I yearn to be,
A single tear in your eye, so close, so free.
To be with you in your worst,
To be your comfort, the first.

I close my eyes when I am with you,
For the soul perceives what the eyes cannot realize.
And when my eyelids fall, I see you through—
In dreams, as in life, love's greatest rise.

I close my eyes when I am with you,
For good things are felt by the heart, not by sight.
My love, my dearest, sanguine, always I knew,
We’d meet one day, surely, undeniably, despite.

From the depths of my heart, I yearn to be,
your worst enemy, your greatest ally.
To carve myself a place in your memory,
for to live is to be remembered, by and by.
