The sun and the water, as I fly so high!
I see it my boy, it is exquisite
We’re finally free, so don’t fly too high
I can’t lose you now, I can’t watch you die
Yes, father, I won’t fly too high
I’ll only chase the sun, it’s beautiful,
Oh my! Looks at its rays!
As they shine so bright!
You can’t ever see this, in the nights on Crete

“I can’t do this. I can’t feel myself!”

“That’s not what I meant!
You held the keys to her heart,
and you broke it to the extent!”
“I want to restart.”
“Tell me why you did it.”

I admit,
I did it for modesty.”

"Darling, I've loved you from the start,
With you, I feel a fire in my heart."
"But my heart is torn, for another I yearn,
In his embrace, my soul does churn."

For in my heart, I long for more."

His verses enchant, they make my heart beat."

But it's your touch that makes me pin...
