When I loved you,
I knew
I would take
A rare risk,
A unique
Adventure.
In you, I
would tour
The whole world,
And discover
Many places
That I
Didn’t hear
Of or
Even see
In my dreams.
When I
Loved you,
I knew
I would fly in
Wide skies,
And swim in
Deep seas.
I would wander
In fairy lands,
And climb
Tall trees.
I would see
With my hands.
I would touch
With my eyes.
I would feel
With my soul.
When I
Loved you,
I knew
I would see
Netherlands
In the tulips
Of your lips,
The magic land
Of the pharaohs
In your eyes,
And France
In the grapes
Of your breast.
In your earrings,
I would see
The sunshine
Of Spain.
When I
Loved you,
I knew
I would need
A thousand and
One lives.
I would see
Many places.
But I never
Imagined
To see
The world
A breathtaking,
A fantasy,
A paradise,
As I have
Seen in you.
