I remain yours forever
And you I'll always and in all ways remember,
Because it's in my nature.
One look! One smile! One 'Hi there! ' Bound me in capture.
Seized by your life-in-blue-jeans carefree demeanor
I remain yours forever.
Quite the couple we were! A princess, my 'better',
And I, your not-so-humble self-chosen 'protector'
Because it's in my nature.
Choices were made that excluded our endeavor
Whose fault was it? Who knows why now? Does it matter?
I remain yours forever.
For you I forfeit reason by any known measure:
In my thoughts, never parted, always together
Because it's in my nature.
Even to this day I continue to treasure
Your illusion past. This woe I choose to honor.
I remain yours forever
Because it's in my nature.
