come to me, don't be shy

You have never been loved, nor shall ever be,
By anyone, anymore than by me,
For you - I live and for you I shall die,
Oh! Sweetheart, come to me, don't be shy.

I know not how to say 'I Love You'
But I do know that you always knew,
So, Oh dear! come near, do come near,
And listen to the silent cries of your lover.

Let us love each other - today and tomorrow,
The way that a mortal forgets pain and sorrow,
Let us love each other till the judgement day,
The way that Aphrodite would shy away.

Come, Oh! sweet, let me be lost in the labyrinth of
love for you,
Lets rejoice every moment anew,
Let me love you, enough to endure for ever,
Fly to my arms, as to ocean flows a river.

For sweetheart, you have never been loved, nor shall
ever be;
By anyone, anymore than by me.
