Glance for glance and smile for smile are happily returned,
and in our hearts, cheerfulness and desire begin to burn,
our feelings for each other, these seedlings from nothing have grown,
and in our imagination what thoughts of each other conjured.

Love at first sight is a thing impossible, many may say,
but through your eyes, I see your soul,
and from your clothes, your movement to your tone
everything of you is easily conveyed.
So though it may seem that by inexperience and blind faith
I have already given my heart to you,
but tis' rather, all expectations I've sought after, you so portray

Fate does weave these events so intricately
so that some things are just simply meant to be,
whereas in others our participation is of necessity.
So we must, especially with our feelings for each other now known,
two strangers the two of us, toward each other should approach.
And since this day lives but once and so do we,
why not seize the moment and cast our fears and shyness far,
and take steps together and to a journey wondrous embark.

But in the background I sense how hastily our time's sandglass drains
as always in periods of happiness and never in pain.
So though with words unspoken, my eyes will show
that I leave you with this following note,
To everything, anything and everyone, I do swear by,
that ever again our paths intertwine, I am yours and you are mine.
