Dear True Love

Dear true love,

I'm a writer without any words,

I'm a story that nobody heard

When I'm without you.

I am a voice,

I am a voice without any sound.

I'm a treasure map that nobody found

When I'm without you.

Dear true love,

I'm a lantern without any light,

I'm a boxer much too afraid to fight

When I'm without you.

So with this ring

May you always know one thing:

What little that I have to give,

I will give it all to you.

You're my one true love.

I am a memory,

I'm a memory bent out of shape,

A childhood already bruised with age

When I'm without you.

Dear true love,

I'm an artist without any paint,

I'm the deal that everyone breaks

When I'm without you.

So with this ring,

May you always know one thing:

What little that I have to give,

I will give it all to you.

You're my one true love.

I am a whisper,

I'm a secret that nobody keeps.

I'm a dreamer of someone else's dreams

When I'm without you.

Dear true love,

I'm a farewell that came all too soon.

I'm a hand-me-down that dreams of being new

When I'm without you.
