Ode to Joy . The first time I saw her, I couldn't breath…
“Ode to Joy . The first time I saw her, I couldn't breath. The most lovely thing, I had ever seen. When she smiled, I cried. Not worthy... Lost. Pain. Darkness. Fear. How could anything so beautiful, See, One such as me? When she took my hand, I trembled, Terrified, Not worthy... When she took my gaze, She gave me her heart. Overwhelmed, Overjoyed, I noticed, The Melancholy behind her eyes. Seeing, Understanding, Knowing than what I had to do, I gave her my heart, And together, We smiled.”
