Can't you, just once, just once, become the cure for this sorrowful woman's death-sickness?
Can't you, just once, just once, show the audacity to grow old with me?
Can't you, just once, just once, remain as my private window for watching the sky?
Can't you, just once, just once, become the stage for my entire life's drama?
Can't you, just once, just once, declare distance's outer shell abandoned?
Can't you, just once, just once, put all traditional rules up for auction with a single flick?
