In german there's a saying
"You'll always see each other twice"
I'm hoping it's true
Cause I need more time to fall in love with your eyes
I need 30 minutes more
To talk to you
And find out
If there's something new
About the way you shake hands
About the way you look
I need more time to find out about you
And your favourite book
I need a little more time
To find out who you really are
If you prefer train rides
Or rides in a car
You'll always see each other twice
I'm hoping that it's true
Cause I need more time
To get to know you
We only saw each other once
But seeing you was like seeing Rome
After I saw it
I wanted it to be my home
Even if it's true
That we'll see each other twice
I'm afraid
That you won't recognize my eyes.
Little backstory on this one: When I went to Rome with my family and we had to wait about an hour in Como for our train to arrive, me, my brother and his girlfriend talked to this really handsome dude. My brothers girlfriend said that she thinks he would've asked me for my number if I was older (he was 20, I was 15). I also would've asked him for his if we would've been closer in age. So this poem is about hoping to see someone again because the circumstances at the time weren't right.
