• Well, his defense was strong.
• His point of view was of a man
• Who tries to understand,
• But he too came no further than
• A question in the end.

• The island of Atlantis may
• Have vanished in thin air.
• I went and looked around all day,
• But I saw no one there.

• To love you till I die.
• There 's only one thing left to ask:
• When will I meet I?
