ALONG SHE CAME

The day I saw her picture
I wanted to know her name
When I got to know her first name
I was wondering about her surname

The day I saw her name
I wanted to see her
When I saw her face
I was wondering about her teeth

The day I saw her
I wanted to meet her
When I saw her smile
I was wondering about her laugh

The day I met her
I wanted to talk to her
When I felt her tender palms
I was wondering about her embrace

The day I talked to her
I wanted to become her friend
When I heard her voice
I was almost at a loss

The day I became her friend
I wanted to be close to her
When I saw she liked me
I wondered whether she would love me

The day I became close to her
I wanted to know her background
When I saw her mom
I wondered about her dad

The day I got to know her background
I wanted to marry her
If only my alarm clock hadn’t gone off
I would have fallen off my bed and out of the dream
