I lose respect for your adulations.

For all my classmates&#39; dedication,

am the only one to bear decoration! ]]></description>

<p>Lost in a mist of time</p>

<p>to become my only treasure</p>

<p>could make life so mellow </p>

<p>Love makes my heart to sing</p>

<p>like sweet music from a cello</p>

<p>Bonded now as one</p>

<p>this life we share together</p>

<p>Safe in each others arms</p>

<p>birds of the same feather.</p>... ]]></description>
