This is my thought  \n What is this strange emotion we've wrought?  \n The bond between two people; two lovers  \n Is something that overpowers all others\n\nSo to you, my sweet, I'll tell you this  \n Don't worry, it's not something you'll miss  \n I love you more than anything else in this world  \n Even more of myself with you I've unfurled  \n  \n I've never seen myself this clearly  \n Even when I'm sore and weary  \n Just a word from you and you'll see a smile  \n Even if I was gloomy for a while  \n  \n You are my star, my shining light  \n Laying in your arms makes everything right  \n Each night spent with you is sheer bliss  \n And believe me, my love, there's no lie in this!\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
