"You're the love of my life," he claimed.

In 1864, I remember being overwhelmed.

Your Majesty, you were so honoured and classy.

But look at me; I was just a lot messy.

The evening in the ball of your grace,

We were locked in an embrace.

Every bit of me was every bit of you, I feel,

bound in the love that was concealed.

I ask today, "Was it all a lie?"

I ask today, "Was it all a scam?"

I ask today, "Was it all a deceit?"

The story of love in 1864

I just wanted us to be something more.
