When you know the world around me is yours,
Why do you ask for what is named as ours?

When you see the smile i wear in my face is yours,
Why do you seek a bliss that never pours?

When you know my soul holds only your essence,
Why do you crave more, in constant effervescence?

In your search for love, let not my heart be your plea,
For all I am is entwined with what you already see.
