I lift my heart, an honest plea;
a gift I give, to you—from me,
mayhap you shall consider this,
as what it is, a fervent wish.
And all that now, is dear to me,
I now forsake, for love of thee;
for all I give without a care,
if by exchange, you shall be there.
And here is where our story starts,
the surest bond ‘tween soul and heart;
and if you choose, my heart is tied,
so I shall wait, as you decide.
