I placed within the peacock flask,
My heart, all nestled deep -
Safe from the winds of fortune -
For you to hold and keep.

Next, wrote this heartfelt message
And tucked it down within
In hopes the ocean's sea breeze
Would bring it back again.

I took this graceful bottle
And stood upon the shore,
And cast it out upon the tide
To open up a door.

The door is to your heart-light
So you will know inside
How very much I love you -
It cannot be denied.

I humbly ask this favor:
If your love is just as great,
Please send your own heart back to me
Forever I will wait.
