Love has arrived
Coming to alight, a fond memory
Urging me on with insistence
To let us be united again


Let love be here to stay
To be together, inseparable, forever
What has been done is so right
You are just right, together we're perfect

Your anticipations
I have fulfilled
The time has arrived
You are just right, together we're perfect
 
The heart has been soothed
The affirming desire within
Bound as one, inseparable,
To make this desire in me everlasting

[Nogelmeier, 2004]
