Shy out of my mind, running out of rhymes, I'm stumbling faster

She makes me believe in second chances

I'll never take another moment for granted

Her hair gleams with glints of summer

When everything didn't make sense and the future was open

Now she's all that makes sense
While everything is variable she is constant

My love for her has grown since autumn's red glare

Like a bud blossoming into a beautiful violet

It is to be cherished, never trampled

My love for her only grows

It is unwilting
