If you were real my darling
I’d hold you close and kiss you
If you were real
I’d leave everything behind for you
If you were real
I’d pledge myself to you
My heart, soul and body
Would be yours
If you only were real.

“We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.”

? Dr. Seuss
