Soliloquy

all the way

I saw you once
from then on I knew,
It took only a glance
A whisper, a chance
To know what fate has brought through;

I saw you again
I was ensnared
By your eyes and that silly smile--
You;

I knew you then
From another, from a friend
Your name
I endlessly drew;

It didn't take long
Until a day came
What I thought was mine
Wasn't true;

For darling,
When I saw you once
And saw you again
I loved you then--
all the way through.
