I see in that mouth
In that smile I see

A healing potion, your lips the cup

So if you are generous, I am healed; and if
If you are generous I am healed
you withhold, despair torments me.
If you withhold, despair takes me

And the sweetest love is that which exists
The sweetest love is the secret love
without people knowing of it.
