Poetry - When I saw you

in poetry •  7 years ago 

When I saw you

I never thought about tomorrow,
Today would be long enough.

But then I saw you tonight,
For the first time I thought about tomorrow.

I never liked love,
There was no woman for me,
Until I saw you,
And I just loved.

You do not realize,
What you do to me.
And how could you know,
It was but just one night.

You might not have seen me.
I am out, day and night,
'cause I know you’re out there
I am whistling, making a fool of myself
Just with the hope of getting a glimpse of you.

There was a thunder,
a lightning bolt struck me when I saw you.
Your smile, electric through my veins,
altered my reality and changed who I was.

I am a different person,
I surrended, you got me,
It was a fight I could never win,

I am changed, a different person,
And perhaps this is only the beginning.

Did I just charm your pants off right there? Hehe, I hope I did! Welcome to my series of translated lyrics. During these series I will translate and fancy up awful, famous and/or stupid Dutch songs so they look like superduper charming poems or pieces of writing.

Original song by Guus Meeuwis - Toen ik je zag
