Natasha.

"Natasha, that's a nice name.
"What's in a name?
"Geuss you're right,
it's all the same.

But if it's all the same,
to you,
let me jump in your game, too.
"Oh do!

"I see life in your eyes,
it's true,
nobody else will do,
but you.

"I can tell when you're
lying, y'know,
and you lied trough your teeth,
just now.

"Loves not forever,
I fear,
you're too quick for me,
but I know this one thing;

If this instant
was eternity
I'd cherish you only.

"Well said, for both you,
and me.
