Rescued from the river of empty promises My heart saved from a jagged death. Your strong arms carried my lifeless being. Your broad shoulder cradled my weary head. Your kind and loving face gave me hope. I ask you only to make me no empty promises I've had too many of those and please just be yourself I don't need a false Romeo. I have no need of ephemeral enchantment to make me swoon. All I need is a genuinely real and honest man. The strength of your heart emanates a pure light so intense it melts all my fears of past forsaken loves. And together we will swim in the warm caressing ocean of love abiding souls.

Ephemeral Enchantment
Rescued from the river of empty promises My heart saved from a jagged death. Your strong arms carried my lifeless being. Your broad shoulder cradled my weary head. Your kind and loving face gave me hope. I ask you only to make me no empty promises I've had too many of those and please just be yourself I don't need a false Romeo. I have no need of ephemeral enchantment to make me swoon. All I need is a genuinely real and honest man. The strength of your heart emanates a pure light so intense it melts all my fears of past forsaken loves. And together we will swim in the warm caressing ocean of love abiding souls.
