My heart lifted when you sang the sweet words

That brought my soul to life again.

Like a forbidden Romeo,

To a curious Juliet.

Like a princess at the ball,

Staring upon a mysterious man in the corner...



I ran away in the first place,

Because my heart could not take this...

I felt fond of you,

And look at where it leads me.

Forbidden is it... to think of you

Forbidden is it... to merely see you.

This is why I tried to push you,

To the back of my mind---

Yet unsuccessfully...



Here you emerge,

A beautious wildflower in bloom.

How I wish to pick you from the field,

And keep you close.



But nonsense I speak,

Like dwindling words on a droplet of rain down a windowpane

I am driven mad with this. . .



But what of life?

What of living and breathing?

It may be all smothered...

As my heart sinks down to my chair, again.

I am destined to be alone.
