“Everyone has a temptation; a weakness that they would yield to. Mine is you. Not only you, but your love. For your love is unique. For you are the other half of my soul. I feel you, even when you are not there. It's like a shadow. You are my shadow. Your love follows me every step I tread.”

“Cause when I looked into your eyes,and you dared to stare right back,you should of said,Nice to meet you, I'm your other half”
