As a child I thought of love
As a rescue from the evil world.
A white knight and a horse,
Long sword drawn to save a
Long haired lonely girl.
As a young girl I thought of love
As a shower of shoes and rice.
White dress and a veil,
Long-tailed handsome groom beside a
Long-trained beautiful bride.
As a teenager I thought of love
As a fiery passionate release.
A white hot brand of desire,
Long and full summer nights,
Long pleasure that would never cease.
As a woman I think of love
As a breathing, feeling thing.
White blessed aura of power,
Long of life and eternal,
Long on the joys and pains it brings.
