When I look on you a moment,
then I can speak no more,
but my tongue falls silent,
and at once a delicate flame
courses beneath my skin,
and with my eyes I see nothing,
and my ears hum, and a wet sweat
bathes me and a trembling seizes me all over.
If you do not love me I shall not be loved
If i do not love you I shall not love you.
I took one look at you
That's all I meant to do
And my heart stood still.
Nice poem.
