I... that pale illusion; that waking, futile dream which too long
served as my existence is now so easily forgot,
Yet until you woke me... I knew nothing of my dreaming:

I... That desolate wasteland in which my lonely, questing heart
wandered too long is become a glistening oasis,
Yet until you held me... I knew nothing of my despair:

I... That empty, darklit solitude which masqueraded, grimly, as
my being; is sprung to dazzling light,
Yet until you showed me... I knew nothing of my darkness:

I... That unquenchable thirst which scorched my throat soothed
now in the cool crystal fountain of companionship,
Yet until you touched me... I knew nothing of my loneliness:

I... That hollowest of vessels, in which my empty soul drifted in
the search for fulfillment is filled, suddenly, to overflowing,
Yet until you loved me... I knew nothing of my emptiness:

"Will I take thee?"

With all my heart and all my soul and all that is my being;,
For in this moment, this fleeting and precious moment,

WE are born... And I am no more!
