Give me one good reason
why I should love you
give me one good explanation
how you would
take care of me

I want you
to love me
even when I get old
will you

I want you
to be near me
at turbulent times and troubles alike
will you

sailing on the smooth sea
is not at all a difficult one
but
fighting with the rough sea
will demand
our combined strength

are we ready
to face
life
together
on the face of it

we should drop our masks
and
be ready to show
our real face
to each other

only then your love be true
and only then our life be good.
