Analysis of As Much As Hearts Allow
I have truly loved you as much as hearts allow
I have truly loved you as much as I knew how
I have safely kept you as near as shields allow
I have safely kept you as near as I knew how
I have gently stroked you as nice as pats allow
I have gently stroked you as nice as I knew how
I have simply shown you as cute as words allow
I have simply shown you as cute as I knew how
I have warmly held you as close as arms allow
I have warmly held you as close as I knew how
I have fully backed you as long as props allow
I have fully backed you as long as I knew how
I have sweetly kissed you as soft as lips allow
I have sweetly kissed you as soft as I knew how
I have plainly seen you as clear as minds allow
I have plainly seen you as clear as I knew how
I have always loved you as well as hearts allow
I have always loved you as well as I knew how
