You are a kindred spirit and my most cherished, loving friend,
And do not think that I could bear for our friendship to end.
I would rather deny myself this most awesome, glorious pleasure-
Than to lose my most cherished possesion, my most secret treasure.

I need you, my cherished one, more than I could ever show.
You, and you alone, are what makes me whole.
You shine heavenly light into this most stoic life,
And shorten all these dim, hated, and wearisome nights.

One day, my love, I'll let you know these feelings that I hide,
But for now I'll keep them safe. Locked deep inside.
I love you.
