True Love

There is no one way to describe true love.
The way you feel is going to change,
From walking on air, to drowning in the sea,
For when she doesn’t feel the same.

A toast! To the charitable dove,
The bird of peace, it always shines brightly.
Its call resounds with joy, and all of it for me,
Love lifts me up, makes me feel like I can fly.

Alas, the cherubim’s arrow is not true,
I am a beast, suffering from mange.
For I belong to the gargoyles of old
Up in a tower, the hideous hunchback of Notre Dame.

Yet, on those days, when I watch the morning dew,
Things will get better, ever so slightly.
When I hear her voice, which is more precious than gold,
Having her around will make me happy until I die
