“In the heart of the night, where secrets entwine?—
A dance of shadows, a mystical sign?—
Her pulse syncs with his beats, in a world sosurreal?—
In the echo of webs, her heart starts to feel?—
In this web of stars, they both find their trance?—

No distance, too far, and no night too dark?—
She’s his guiding star, she’s his eternal spark.”
