Only the beauty that lies within 
Marks the truth of love and soul 
For underneath the plain façade 
Does hide a destiny and goal.  

But try as you might, you cannot see 
The truth of love with blinded eyes 
You cannot love with all your being 
Until you have cleansed all the lies.  

So, mark the place where passion starts 
Make this is a common starting place. 
Unless you vow to stay alone  
For true love is full of truth and grace. 

You want the love of mine alone to touch your gentle heart 
You can ask me just this once and I am ready to start.
