The Right Thief

There is no escape when someone captures your soul.
No matter how much you struggle you will become lost.
The more you fight it, the more entangled you become.
It becomes an intoxicating spell, I've been told.

Suppose you put up every defense known to man...
Love will find a way to destroy the thickest walls.
When Destiny had tied you to someone's heart,
It would not matter how fast and far you ran.

The only way you can save yourself - they say - is to pray.
Pray that the Fates favour you and will protect you.
Hope that the thief of your soul will stay by your side
As a friend, or more, keeping you safe and happy everyday.

If the Fates neglect you once or even twice, and you become undone
Thank them, for it will be much sweeter when the right thief comes.
