Why these rituals, this custom's hold?
Why this need to play a role?
If you are mine, what need for the world?
Why these shows of hearts, unfurled?
Why proclaim, for all to see?
Why these rituals, constantly?

When you arrive, spring will attend,
When you arrive, the flowers descend.
When you arrive, spring will be here.
Why adorn the home, my dear?
Why these rituals, ever near?

If a soul you love, then meet,
If a soul you love, your heart greet.
If a soul you love, then meet.
Why seek a charming, practiced feat?
Why these shows of hearts, replete?

You entered, and light did bloom,
You entered, dispelling the gloom.
You entered, and light did convene.
Why light candles, unseen?
If you are mine, what need for the world?
Why these rituals, forever unfurled?
If you are mine, what need for the world?
Why these rituals, the soul's own world?
