Analysis of The One I Love
To the one I love
I give you my best
I stand with you
Through the worst
To the one I love
I give you my time
I give you my soul
I give you my trust
To the one I love
I ask only this
In return you must
Do the same
Forever bound by
That which is strongest
Loves great embrace
Held strong forever more
Love shall stand unbroken
Love shall remain resolute
Love shall destroy uncertainty
