Ton visage, it remained a mystery for nearly 2 years,
until our paths crossed one night on the dance floor.

That was the first chance I had to tell you...

Pour la seconde fois, our paths crossed on a beautiful day.
As I rode by on my old Schwinn,
you waltzed by with your pretty grin.
A day I will never forget,
and will forever regret,
for…

That was my second, and until now, my final chance to tell you…

The question today is, will I ever have a third chance?
The distance between us is great,
but the chances are not.

Which is why I wrote you this poem.
This poem is my third chance to tell you
what I was too weak to tell you before…

…que je t’aime avec tout mon coeur.

I had found you; my soul mate.
It was meant to be our fate.
Yet, to our dismay, something turned out wrong.
What hurts me most is that our happiness did not last for long.
Nothing is worse than living without the smile on your face.
It has caused me a great pain that no one can erase.
You decided to put an end to your days,
and you left me with this craze.
Without you here, I would rather die,
and now it is my time to say goodbye.
Soon we will be together once more,
and we will not have to endure pain anymore.

This feeling wants to escape my chest,
and I cannot survive with this unrest.
I fall more and more for you each day,
and my mind is in constant disarray.
I have you close to me,
but what’s the use if it cannot be.
It may be different someday,
and I will be able to say...
