love is
more thicker than forget
love is more thicker
than forget
more thinner than recall
more seldom than a wave is wet
more frequent than to fail
more thinner than recall
more seldom than a wave is wet
more frequent than to fail
it is most mad and
moonly
and less it shall unbe
than all the sea which only
is deeper than the sea
and less it shall unbe
than all the sea which only
is deeper than the sea
love is less always
than to win
less never than alive
less bigger than the least begin
less littler than forgive
less never than alive
less bigger than the least begin
less littler than forgive
it is most sane and
sunly
and more it cannot die
than all the sky which only
is higher than the sky
and more it cannot die
than all the sky which only
is higher than the sky

here is the deepest
secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
