In any hour, place, and all circumstance, Only thoughts of one do occupy my mind. They are thoughts of you, my beloved paramour, And forever to you do I myself consign. In your times of absence, I yearn for your presence, In your times of presence, I yearn for your stay. You seem to me as vital to existence As the rising and setting of the sun each day. Although we will face a great many obstacles, I also know if our devotion is true, That these will prove to be of little consequence, And our love may be perpetually new.
