To touch you for infinity could never satisfy
Or to hold forever silent gaze, the majik of your eye
Lest for leaving I should wither, having tapped eternal springs
Then to find myself alone with melted wax upon my wings

I remember sheltered nights that I cried for losings sake
Your protection was your honour that left veiled within it's wake
So much more than lustful passion could have offered in reply
To a fleeting show of valour from a knight beneath the sky

Maybe once we shared a life which would explain our auric bond
Having practised it before it would be easy for the wand
To be waved in our direction and ignite eternal fires
That come easier each time they're lit as time and love requires

But to seek and still discover is the quest we know and knew
Please don't let me interfere in the journey you persue
Or forget you, for remembering we will travel there together
And bring to life immortal words "I love you 'till forever."
