The love i dedicated to thee is flawless and without end. But mine verses are not worthy of my love for thee for they are untutored. But as always, i wish thee long life still lengthened with all happiness.

I know not if i offend thee with all of my verses. For they art a mixture of pain, suffering and emptiness !
