I could not bear a mistake,
missed thought,
or anguished feeling,
between me and you.
No price to remove,
such a pain in a word,
once spoken,
commited to reality.
Nothing ever meant,
so sweet to my heart,
could at any time,
be so wrong to a soul.
Your feelings as one,
with mine to keep,
your pain my own,
to suffer together.
My love to treasure,
your heart so sweet,
the times we spend,
make a life of peace.
I desire to be,
alone with you,
now and forever,
just you and me.
