Dedicated To the One I Love
Though I may not show affection, I am very curious for perfection,
Not my will if I don’t happen to maintain the perfection needed instead,
Greater nor I to all,
For I only speak for the deaf and visible for the blind,
For only Men am I
In my soul I carry thy art, of freedom and curiosity;
Dedicated I am to u, through the valleys and storms,
Yet none of thy ride seems to evacuate my customs unto you
For only Men am I
Though, the showers I possess may be scarce for the world’s garden
At least thy hill I have climbed,
Understand that only Men am I,
Otherwise nor small or big would not taste my showers
Amazing you have always been, amazing you will always be
All I do is of my action’s absence, and mind control
All I did was my mind’s absence, and action’s control
For only Men am I
Your enrolment was always a tournament,
Your enrolment will always be a tournament
Winning the race was as tough as writing the best song ever,
Winning the bat was as challenging as convincing the whole world for an objectiveless theatre
I have seen the Thorny narrow way, we have travelled together,
I have drank from the same muddy water, invented by worms,
To you I may sometimes look ghostly;
To you I may be the worst night mare you have ever had
Be it, either way do not be surprised, for the same questions I have asked myself,
All I want is your pride, would even be best if I may be your bride,
Flames of wishes we would share, until the smoke had reached our roots
To you I confess my love, to my love I confess you
Though I may not show affection, I am very curious for perfection,
Greater nor I to all,
For I only speak for the deaf, and visible for the blind,
For only Men am I
