protect her from the weather.

graced us the summer long,

to be received at last
in the open arms of my love.

I wish I were you, you could be me.
If you saw through my eyes it would be easy to see.
If you felt my pain you would then understand.

And yet the brightest soul I've seen
Your smile

Where shall I start
