I don't know what to say.
I don't know what to do.
These emotions cannot be put at bay.
How to handle them, I haven't a clue.

The gates of my heart have been closed for so long.
My heart's rhythm has forgotten love's song.
It has been years since I felt your caress.
'Tis true for of this, I cannot just jest.

It has been years since I saw your smile last.
It's been years! How time fly so fast.
You loved me and so cared for me then.
How it all changed, I can never ken.

You whispered sweet nothings to my ears.
Then, my poor heart had beat so fast; so fierce.
You looked at me with those soulful eyes.
They were the sun; I, the melted ice.

Every smirk that you'd make;
Every breath that you'd take,
I worshipped them at your very wake.
I forgot who I was for your sake.

You told me stories of love and ardor;
Of what men like yourself stand and fight for.
I took them all in; believed them all so.
I was silly for everything about you, even your shadows.

Now, after years, we've met again.
They're all coming back to me: every little thing from then.
Every emotion, every moment.
The love I had for you was so ardent.

They were so ardent, yes they were.
For until now, I can still faintly feel their fervor.
Now that I've seen you once more,
I'm thrown into chaos for I know not whether it's just an aftereffect: this "fervor".
