My darling, one tack

I will deign to conspire;

The more secrets you conquer

The more you’ll desire

My darling, one ken

I’m afraid you’ll discover;

There are some wrongs from which

Right can never recover

My darling, one truth

I’m afraid is most dire;

Should you live this lie,

You will die a liar

My darling, one difference

That makes all the measure;

Leaving is tact,

Letting go, a treasure

My darling, one question

That has gone remiss;

Do you know how rare

A love like this is?
