You came with all the splendor of the rising sun,
With the symphony of Mozart in your eyes,
You came like a rain in a dusty summer
And when you spoke, everything went still.
With royal grace you moved about, unknowing
The havoc you caused my mind
I was struck like a thunderbolt, smitten,
Bewitched, and bewildered, my heart lay fallen
How long in silence will I remain imprisoned?
For in your presence this wretched tongue is mute
My eyes can't even meet your gaze and tell
The words held captive for a thousand years.
One day, this heart of mine shall find the strength
To go against tradition, culture, or convention
And though a woman's place in courtship is to wait
I'll wait no more and be judged by fate.
