- Description: Love, first discovered, a trial balloon; saying it, we are so scared. Does she feel it too? Or did I speak too soon? Then she repeats it, and says, so do I, and love, now freed, takes off into the sky.

Love, first discovered, a trial balloon;  
saying it, we are so scared.  
Does she feel it too? Or did I speak too soon?  
Then she repeats it, and says, so do I,  
and love, now freed, takes off into the sky.
