Analysis of True love -mutual understanding-true spirit
You know my song....
you do not know how to prolong.
You know my voice....
you do not know its choice.
You know my mind....
you do not know how to bind.
You know my heart....
you do not know its thought.
You know I am not wrong....
you do not know I am strong.
You can see my pleasant smile....
you can't see tears behind my veil.
Living together....does not bring credit,
understanding though far carries merit.
To respect one and another is the 'True Spirit'.
