I'm so attracted
That I'm distracted
The air is freshened
And full of our love

I can't go on now
There're things to do now
But there is one that
I'm dreaming of

Your name is beauty
But are you real then
If I could touch you
Would then I know?

Upon my journey
I learned of loving
And when I found you
I began to grow

A bud, a tulip
I kissed your two lips
You drew the wind
From out of my sails

My journey ended
I'm undefended
I found the depths
Of our stormy gales

The air is freshened
A smell of rebirth
It's kind of like
When I found you

The storm, it settles
A castaway
Forgets his home
And lives anew

He never tries
To leave the isle
He's found his home
And found his heart

Volcanoes of
Our passions spewed
Nay this nor any
Storm us apart

Walt, it's sentimental, it's sweet, it's rhythmic. It's perfect. (o:

AWHHHHHHHH SWEET ONE HERE!

and the sun drips honey."
