How much do I love you?
In everything I enjoy you! /
You are my center/
The core of my passion/
...
Under the stars
Are little minds
Under the stars
Are thoughts of all kinds.
...
Here comes the lugubrious one,
Earth's misery, grounds thirst.
Gray clouds morphing into torrential rains
Rain pouring/wisps in the wind.
