Being with you makes me feel stupidly in love.
                                  Being with you put a stupid smile on my face.

When you don't show,
                   I feel so stupid,
                                                                        for being so crazy about you!
Too much happiness is not always a good sign.

Hand in hand we sit

together in the garden --


of our affection.
Collection "NightWatch"
our moles align
like stars in the sky.
in this world
it’s just you and i.
‘till death do us part
by your side I will lie.
there is no other soul
with whom i’d rather die.
in this world
it’s just you and i.
my lover forever
my sweet cherry pie.
