What is it about love that makes us act against our will?
That makes us act as we do,
That no matter what happens, we think no ill.
As one tries to woo
Whom one loves,
As much as one does,
There is always something to gain.
Whether it is earthly desires,
Or a true friend.
To help you from unhappy mires,
For true love, there is no end.
Like a blessing by the divine,
I ask that you please be mine.
