Analysis of true love ways
Holly Flame Maxey 1976 (baltimore)
My beloved, I depend on you to free me
My heart, my mind, my soul
Oh, my love, when you are near
All reality fades, and I feel left alone
With my dreams of untold desires
I need you to show me the path
To your true love ways
I need you to cool me down
When I become lost in my passions
My only requirement in this life
Is the ability to experience your existence
In any manner within my reach
My soul sours with the eagles
When you within proximity
My heart feels euphoria
When I feel your essence near
