22. Before I ever saw…
Before I ever saw henna flowers
Appear on her hands,
My heart was already
In her hands.
Before I ever saw the ring
Adorn her finger,
My heart was already wrapped
Around her finger.
Appear on her hands,
My heart was already
In her hands.
Before I ever saw the ring
Adorn her finger,
My heart was already wrapped
Around her finger.
O’ Layla!
I was yours,
Before I ever knew
You existed
And your Love assured me
<>
Of my own existence.
