Cheryl,
Until You Battered by life to you I came With all my heart I felt the same Irresistable attraction, uncontrollable I wanted to be yours, entirely, infinitely. About my wounds I did not think Merge in you, only merge in you
1 desperatly aspired to My beloved, my God, my soul. I ran to you, with
sparkles and stars and we danced and we flew, high up into the sky Never before had I ever experienced two hearts together that were able to fly. I was in
heaven, but it was better than heaven
Never before had I imagined that here on earth such a bliss could happen Never before…
Until You..
Forever the love of my life I love you
Love Shaun
