Prisoner of Love

Oh with her sweet smile
I was taken prisoner,
cry of the castle
shackled to chains of desire
captive hopelessly in love.

Makes a guy want to go to prison. Well done Harry! Hopefully she isn't wearing a chastity belt.

What a wonderful feeling to experience with your loved one Harry. Can't complain about being a prisoner when you're in love.
