From that moment when she smiled at me, my whole world came apart,
I had finally found my reason, but concomitantly lost my heart.

I realized, I'd have to venture out, to see her face again,
So I could recover my own, and hopefully end this pain.

I marched with poise to her house, but then I never knocked.
Although my arms were open, my joints it seemed were locked.

I had brought her some petals, that the hands of fate has chosen.
Although my heart was melting, my lips, they were frozen.

I wanted to shout out to her, but I failed, even to try.
Although my brow was dripping wet, my throat was totally dry.

I prayed that somehow, she may think to look out and see,
This wretched lost creature waiting under her window is me,

And without a word betwixt us spoken, she'd assuredly know,
That thoughts of her have me enthralled, my greatest joy and woe,

And perchance decide in her dainty mind, to end my misery,
With her smile that could embrace my soul, straight into eternity.
