You Won't Be Forgotten



You look like eye-candy but my love is sweet.
You won't be forgotten
but I feel complete.

You look like finest yarn but my loom is full.
You won't be forgotten
but I warp pure wool.

You look like astral sky but my star is bright.
You won't be forgotten
but I own the night.

You look like lucky charm but my fate is fun.
You won't be forgotten
but I bask in sun.

You look like vital light but my path is great.
You won't be forgotten
but I have a mate.

You look like luring bait but my heart is true.
You won't be forgotten
but I bid adieu.
