\n to think of you<\/span>
\n because between you<\/span>
\n and between me<\/span>
\n is the vast sea<\/span>
\n is the dark rainforest.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n when I think of you <\/span>
\n with all my love<\/span>
\n then it is <\/span>
\n as if you stand in front of me<\/span>
\n as if you are with me.<\/span><\/p>\n
