Minerva's Song

Say the words, and I'll be with you forever

As our arms entwine around one another

Love does not in some way have a need to be rational

Yet the words must be spoken before one is gullible

Three simple words can cause much unneeded strife

That may continue on throughout the next life

But please remember that you are far from being alone

For this statement still may leak during a simple sojourn

The question is now, by me or by you, who knows who will crack first

The truth at least from me is near escaping, and ready to burst.

You are the lion, and I am the swan

For when I see you, these words are my song.
