Only you  
Defied reality  
Defiled my mind  
Withstood my sea  
Came back to me  
  
Not only you  
Resisted reality  
Withheld your mind  
Shrank from my sea  
Came back to me  
  
Only you  
(And only they)  
Could claim my mind  
Shift what you say  
With meanings play  
  
Not only you  
(Nor only they)  
Left me, my mind  
And heard me say  
"Love is not a game I play,"  
  
But only you  
Are only you  
I keep my mind  
My heart is true  
I still have room for "I love you"
