Love

I was struck before the hour

Of a love so sudden and sweet.

Your face shone like a shining star

And made my own heart beat.

My face turned as pale as ever,

My legs refused to walk away.

yet when you looked at me

What could I possible say?

My life had suddenly seemed

To all just melt away.

The blood rushed to my face

And took my sight away.

It seemed like it was midnight

When it was only mid-day.

I could not see a single thing,

Words from my eyes did start,

They spoke as a cord does from a string

And a sweeter melody it did play.

You seemed to hear my silent voice

And love's appeal to dream

I never saw such a sweet face

As the one that stood before me.
