Love Isn't Easy - English Translation

Johnny PoV

We were making our way through Tulsa when I saw this girl sitting on the kerbstone with a cigarette between her red lips.
Her blond hair was tied back with a red cloth which was arranged as a bow on top. Her bangs hung into her face and were almost long enough to cover her bright blue eyes.
She was focused on her smoke fading in the air but when she noticed us she flicked her cigarette away, stood up and came over to us.
While she walked I checked her body up and down. She was curvy but not too chubby. She wore a black T-shirt combined with a jean jacked, washed out jeans and some old converse. Damn she looked amazing!

Pony seemed to know her cause he hugged her tightly and they both grinned all over their faces. When they had finished this she came up to me and introduced herself as Jasmine to me. Then she asked for my name.
In this moment it was like I had forgotten everything I've ever known so I just stood there and muttered something. Ponyboy noticed and he tried to help me and introduced me to her. I was really grateful for this but not being able to say your own name is so embarrassing so I just wanted to disappear.
First she looked a bit confused but then her face lit up and she asked us to hang around with her.

This is the story how we met for the first time.

It had been more than one and a half year ago since then and to me she's still the prettiest girl in the world.
Since then things hadn't changed a lot except of one detail: Jasmine and me, we had become best friends.
Of course Pony was still my best buddy but because of his job we couldn't spend this amount of time anymore. So I got to know Jasmine very well and I really fell in love with her but I couldn't tell anyone 'cause if I told Ponyboy he would have talked to her about it trying not to be too direct but everyone can read him like a book when he tries to talk about these themes like it was the most normal thing on earth. He always blushes and talks rubbish like "fluffy puffy girlie thingies" (He really said that once...) and sometimes he is so direct you could use him as a huge bright luminous sign with "I'M TRYING MY BEST BUT I CAN'T BE CASUAL WITH THESE THEMES" written on it. And I can't talk about Jasmine with Jasmine...
