| THE MAKING OF THE PIECE |

GENERAL Theme: LOVE

SPECIFIC Theme: LASTING LOVE

MORE SPECIFIC Theme: REAL LOVE IS A STRING THAT BINDS THE COUPLE TOGETHER AND CONNECTS THEM FOREVER. The MASTERPIECE Part 1

“Promise” By the moment he looked into her eyes
He was astonished by her angelic smile
He knew that he already found
The love that he prayed every night

As they shared the moments of their love
He promised to be loyal and be ideal
She might doubt his undying love
But never tired to proved that she’s the only one

Their passion, their trust and willingness to rise
Rise above all and be strong along the size
The size as big as a power to commit
It is their respect for each other that makes them submit

As he kneel down and offers his life
With a ring that symbolizes his undying love
Forever is a promise for them to keep
Forever is a fact that together they will always stick

Part 2

“Forever”

By the time she looked into his eyes
She saw something that he can’t deny
He must have been something from up above
Sent here to meet her and connect their love

Their hearts as one and their minds are set
Devoted to their relationship that is already set
Her mind is still boggling about the reason why
They’re still together and they still have the fire

Their passion, their trust and willingness to rise
Rise above all and be strong along the size
The size as big as a power to commit
It is their respect for each other that makes them submit

She doesn’t know how to describe how she feels right now
She must be shaking until she finds it how
Forever is a promise for them to keep
Forever is a fact that together they will always stick |
