Something a Philosopher Cannot Conceal

Daniel: From Socrates, Plato, and even Hannah Arendt 
                         The stars fell and told me that you are heaven sent 
                         So listen to me Denisse Laranang, my dear 
                         I cannot sleep lest I say it here 
  
            Denisse: Just say your word, a word so true 
                         Coming from the mouth of a guy like you 
                         Be a knight who will not scorn 
                         Feel free, like the first of doves in the morn 
            
            Daniel: My heart beats wildly because of a voice 
                         It was like a feeling of buying new toys 
                         For it being magical and love is felt 
                         Totally, you capture what mind couldn't have dealt 
            
            Denisse: Is that what a Philosopher ponders? 
                         What about love, how I wonder? 
                         It flatters me though 
                         There is something I also want you to know 
            
            Daniel: What is that my most beautiful maiden? 
                         Is something concealed so that I will hearken? 
                         Your existence is my essence Denisse 
                         And every second is my thousand years 
  
                        
            Daniel: A heart never fails though the mind dictates 
                         Such a feeling my heart palpitates 
                         A feeling I would never conceal 
                         That this humble man will certainly kneel 
  
            Denisse: Such a confession pierced me truly 
                         Let me express that my heart is ever ready 
                         This moment, you cast all my fright 
                        The same way I feel about you my knight
