The day was long and hot
as I sat in class and
waited for the bell.
The time passed like sand
in an hour glass.
You sat in front of me
in the same class.
You were only someone, at first,
I knew of in school
I was an outcast.
Someone unhip, and uncool.
I sat and stared
at your fair auburn hair.
I did never really cared.
Even as I looked.
Then it happened so
fast, yet slow and gradual,
like someone had to slow
time for this event.
You turned around as
the sun illuminated, in steps so decent,
your smile and your face.
Now my heart is yours, my dear.
Your sweet tone,
I would live just to hear.
I would wait for you, alone,
and it would still be too soon
because everything I did without a moan.
I did it all for you.
Oh, every day and every night
my heart aches for you.
Every second of every minute in sight
I am reminded of you,
because you reflect
everything I do.
Your golden hair in the direct
bight rays of light,
looked like flames of fire.
Your face so perfect
for so many others to desire.
Your eyes like a star
on a dark, clear night,
would make a mockery of
the Greek goddess Aphrodite.
If I were to be a robin
you would be, by more than a nose,
the legendary phoenix.
If you were a rose
I would be the thorns.
To protect and please
all the nights and morns.
The way I feel will never cease
and can never be said in words.
For it is the will of love
not mine.
Even if you hated me, oh whitest dove,
I will still love you so.
What is love, my dear?
I do not know.
But I know I love you
through the intensely
warm feelings in my heart
and an emptiness that endlessly
hurts like a dart
day in and day out.
Ich liebe dich, weil du so schön bist.
