"Look," she said

"What is your love?"

- and what could I say?

"My love is to make you happy

My love is to draw you close to me

My love wants to bring help

- bring love.

I always want to show I care, and

That love will always be there."

So she said, "Look,

How strong is your love?"

(I didn't know what to do)

"Look," I said. "I love you.

Isn't that enough?

Is there any emotion stronger?

Is there any that lasts longer?

My love is love

- so strong - so lon lasting."

But after all this

She still can't see my love

- or know it in any way.

I'm really sorry.
