The song of the maiden
As long as the wind blows,
As long as the birds fly,
Mine own affection for you only expands.
Hero gave everything for Leander.
I’m not sure if sacrifice is what life’s about,
But if it is, I’d give all my blood and breath for you.
To me, you are the world.
You are life itself.
There’s nothing more than you.
No matter what it takes,
Like Psyche, I’d face every trial,
Just to have you, not just for a moment, but for life.
I’d take the pain with the joy,
Walk barefoot over thorns,
If it means I’d truly be yours.
For love is immortal, even when we are not;
Let me be yours, for I’ve already surrendered—
Singing my devotion until my final breath.
As I write the final chapter of our love story,
I pray you’ll be my Odysseus,
For I’d spend a lifetime waiting, even for just a moment to be yours.
