When I Saw Thee

The Kiss by Gustave Klimt (1907–1908)

Once I saw thee, was I dreaming that you appear
Or just a phantom showed and disappeared?
I spoke to myself in wonder:
“I shall show no shame to surrender.”

No time to think but to act
I wasn’t aware of the stare…!
Which made a new fact
Which made an impact that
I am in love with you, my dear.

It is a love that cannot be found anywhere
Not for its specialty but of its reality
I am a new birth with thy atmosphere
Not because of loyalty but of infinity

All hail thee and what you bring
Joy, Laughter, melancholy and rain
All thy highness and charm I zing
Thy love that I must sustain

The last time I saw thee, I decided to…
Accept, Cuddle, Dance, Sing and Cry
Help, Kiss, Cook, Drink and fall into…
Love, Play, Live and Die but never Lie.
