How it was
I can't tell you how it was
Nor can I explain what happened
But I fell in love with you.

A light that lit up my whole being.
Your laugh, like a spring,
Filled my life with unease.

Was it your eyes, or your mouth?
Your lips or your voice?
Maybe it was the impatience
of waiting so long for you.
More, I can't say, I can't say how it was
nor can I explain what happened
but I feel in love with you.
