With words, my darling, how you reach my heart

So carefully constructed, simply said.

Each note, a gift I cannot let depart

They stay and linger long inside my head.

Delight, desire, a smile upon my lips

Forbidden joys, reluctantly concealed.

The measures of my day do not eclipse

The smallest secret sentence once revealed.

As if I were the same, I make my way

Through patterns too familiar, too well known

But now those patterns change, they fall astray

Because my life has changed, because I’ve grown

So fond of you, and even when apart

Your wondrous words will stay inside my heart.
