All things conspire to stand between;
Love is but a battlefield.
None could have thus foreseen;
What every glance had to reveal.

When sun and storm refuse to yield;
They ask me if my love was real.
I hold up faith like its a shield;
Time alone shall make them kneel.

All things conspire – to keep us apart
Your eyes thus bade me to linger.
Their melody throbbing inside the heart;
Watch when fate – points up a finger.

Love is like an ocean wild
Despair itself is worn and mild.
