With honesty and honor
Why do I think of you?
I have no answer
Still I run after
And roar into laughter
Think about you always
Find reasonable and sure ways
As I think you may agree
For world that may be totally free
You will then have your own world
As you have many times told
In person and in private
Even thought it was too late
I have special liking
The thoughts emerge and striking
I give full weight
As I want to stick to the date
I will give you safe corner
That may be available soon
Let morning turn into afternoon
We shall be happy later with full moon
This is how two people think
Look at each other and blink
Get lost in imagery hide out
Think funny and talk about
Still it is nice refuge
Where no one may refuse
To a proposal that brings real color
To lead a life with honesty and honor
