Because I love you without some who'd
Make exceptions,
Because you picked me and not them, now I know
That you love me.
And however, how long either has waited,
My body like yours burns as the fire.
Watching you dance not having been taught
Tightens your hold,
And does not a bush filled with green leaves
Grow even more colder,
Not being surrounded as such a tall tree.
Time changes all, time has changed me
Your key to my heart,
As does a circle in the middle of the storm.
Living our lives, living as one, you have your story
Both loved as one,
And I will die early for smoking Iike some.
I have long loved you, knowing you were the one
And will hate leaving,
Having left you behind while plainly knowing my friend,
Came as the snow
On a cold winter's day even after I'm gone
I did not love you because, except that I loved you.
