Aratig to His Love

Come live with me and be my love
And we will travel the world and see its wonders
From the vast blue seas
To the great gardens of flowers

And I will make you happy everyday
I’ll cook you breakfast, bring you gifts,
Make the short days last.

For you I shall give my life
And share my happiness.
If these delights thy mind may move
Then come live with me and be my love.

Polarlight's Reply to Aratig

If all your promises were from the heart
Then I will be the best for you,
Love you more than you do.

I feel that your promises are true
But then I won’t assume
That you’ll keep them all.

My heart tells me that you will try
But all I want is for you to be true to yourself and to me.
Then these delights my mind might move
To be with you and live happily.

Emanon to His Love

Come live with me and let's create memories
And we will never forget these ones we yield
We will be appreciative and shout with all our heart
"Life is like a playground, not a battlefield"

And I will make sure that we won't waste a second
You and me smiling as we talk to each other
Filled with glee even for no reason
Pure happiness nothing can bother
For you I shall stay no matter what happens
For I don't want to leave you like I did back then
If these delights thy mind may move
Then I may be happiest among all men

Bae's Reply to Emanon

If your promises were more than just words
Then in a heartbeat I'd go with you
And create as many memories as our love will allow
Small fragments of the past we can hold on to

I feel the sincerity in your intentions
And your promises are more than enough
But if our feelings were to change as the sun goes down
Wouldn't it be hard to keep this up?

My heart tells me to trust you, though
For reasons I don't understand
Then these delights my mind might move
To go with you and take your hand

Nightshade to His Love


Come live with me and be my love
And we will reach for the stars above.
Whatever comes, whatever goes,
I’ll stick with you wherever the wind blows.

And I will be your valiant knight
To shield you from harm, plague, and spite.
Shining armor, I do not own,
But no hurt shall reach your bone.

For you I shall move sky and stone,
Sing melodies of glorious tones.
If these delights thy mind may move
Then always stay, stay my love.

Silver Rose's Reply to Nightshade

If all your promises were true,
Then I will stay and love you.
Will you follow me to the moon and back?
Surely your bravery will not lack.

I feel that you must not endure all these,
Just sit back and enjoy the summer breeze.
But then looks and fancy words don’t matter
As long as we’ll stay with one another.

My heart tells me to say “yes” and “always”
But is this the right way so I wouldn’t go astray?
But then these delights my mind might move
To come with you and be your love.

Silver Rose to Her Love

Come live with me and always say “always”
And we will never have to doubt each other.
After all we’ve been together,
I will not leave you, not ever.

And I will love you
More than Snape loved Lily Potter.
You don’t have to be a knight in shining armor
Be yourself, that is all that matters.

For you I shall make each day memorable,
I swear upon the River Styx.
If these delights thy mind may move
Then even after all that happened, I’ll stay with you until the very end.

Nightshade’s Reply to Silver Rose

If all your promises were forever true,
Then I’d risk it all to be with you.
As Percy and Annabeth braved Tartarus’ depths,
We’ll face the world and all it begets.

I feel that what you have, to me you offer,
I cannot give, I cannot better.
But then again this is not for me,
Yet what you have said fills me with glee.

My heart tells me that your intentions are pure
But to someone else’s ail is your love a cure.
Then these delights my mind might move
To me your love, a just, a prove.

Faber Castell 0.7 to His Love


Come live with me and be my other half
And we will reach the mountain top,
Together we will live and laugh.

And I will offer you all my time and effort,
I will give all the best for you.

For you I shall be loyal,
I shall be your only one.
If these delights thy mind may move
Then answer me, “Yes,”
And be my other half.

Battlefield’s Reply to Faber Castell 0.7

If all your promises were pure
Then I would give my honest answer.

I feel that your love is sincere
And that your love is kind, that’s clear.
But then again, the world is big
Our lives have just begun.

My heart tells me to wait some more
Find ourselves first, just to be sure
Then these delights my mind might move
To answer when we meet again.

Battlefield to Her Love

Come live with me and be my love
And we will catch the stars above
With hearts as free as flying doves
And watch the glorious sunset.

And I will brighten up your day
With every heartfelt word I’ll say
Transcending time with each embrace
Say “Love you” with a smiling face

For you I shall be a better person
Because you are my inspiration
If these delights thy mind may move
Then come with me and take this chance.

Faber Castell 0.7’s Reply to Battlefield

If all your promises were true
Then I will share moments
And be with you

I feel that you’re honest to me
But then you should not fail me
Because I trust in you

My heart tells me that I should follow you
And believe in you
Then these delights my mind might move
To also love you.
