The following is a poem, as if written by a character in the story, for a girl named Alice.)
Alice! O' Alice!
Alice, Sweet Alice
The following is a poem, as if written by a character in the story, for a girl named Alice.)
Alice! O' Alice!
Alice, Sweet Alice
Don't know how many heartbeats I have left
Every single one now beats for you
Of your sweet company I'm now bereft
My heart pines, yearns and thirsts for you
Alice! O' Alice!
Alice, Sweet Alice
Don't know how many days on earth remain
Wish every sunrise, sunset was with you
It is all the same to me, pleasure or pain
If you are here, and I'm with you
Alice! O' Alice!
Alice, Sweet Alice
Don't know how many breaths are left in me
Every single one is so very sweet
But sweeter are the kisses that you've given me
I'd trade every breath for such a treat
Alice! O' Alice!
Alice, Sweet Alice
If I had a say, on my very last day
I'd kiss you with my very last breath
Heart skip the last one, be on my way
As I embrace you and meet my death
Alice! O' Alice!
Alice, Sweet Alice
