1. I loved you so intensely that I made enemies of those who wished us apart
I swallowed my pride and anger towards them, though it was hard to restrain

2. I tolerated your close friends though they were hateful
And I abandoned my own people though their love was precious

3. For the soul finds no comfort with those who do not understand passion
My place is not with them but here with you

4. Out of love for you I learned to love your tribe
And for your eyes alone I honor a thousand eyes
