I first saw you at the start of school
You were just sitting there, so calm and cool
You're eyes so exquisit like the night stars
They made my stomach feel very bizarre
You're smile so much brighter than the sun
It makes my hair stand on end, one by one
And honestly I thought you were a queen
Day by day, I know I had to have you
And as the year moved on, our friendship grew
Soon a rumor was spread that seemed off-key
How could it be so that you liked me?
I asked you to be mine, nevertheless
And joy filled my heart, when you answered yes
