The heart wishes for boundless, eternal bliss;

A time to smile, and a time to remiss.

A wish for two hearts forever intertwined,

for a love that cannot be confined;

For a life without regret, pain, or sorrow:

Bright skies and happiness on the morrow.

The heart wishes for what it can have never,

A reminder of humanity, of what is truly forever.
