Shall I compare thee to my special sin?
Whence thine picture doth not fade from my sight.
Ever comforting, never forgotten.
Easing memories of love's purest light.
Touching inner feelings long since hidden.
Chosen for both thine inner strength and poise.
Hath not our love been so long forbidden.
Our secret concealing enormous joys.
Cloaked in darkness, but forever shining.
Only thine can know what dwells in mine heart.
Longingly mine soul is ever pining.
Always together, and never apart.
Timeless is our love so wondrous and true,
Everlasting, and yet so fresh and new.
