A Silhouettes Smile

She and I were; 
Best of friends 
We hung around each other
Since the day we met. 

I remember,
When I first saw 
The elegance of your smile
My mind is reminiscing back.

Your silhouette,
In the light of the sun
We had begun
Your hair was flowing back
The wind blew in our run.

Baby's breath floweret,
Accented your hair, just for me
You looked so good
So, good to me.

I wanted to kiss you, 
But, somehow you knew
Because you kissed me first
And that's when you blew me away
Seems to highlight the nites, night
That we shared back then.

But my head started spinning,
I feel weak in my knees
My stomach was just swirling.

It can't happen to me,
I fell n love just that fast
Don't you see?

With your silhouette,
Your vision I've seen 
I look on back at the scene
Struck deep within me
The elegance of your smile.

It's what resonates, 
Most in me
From long ago
Oh, can't you see
My head was spinning
Oh, didn't you know? 

By your silhouette 
I can see
In the sunlight gleam
The vision there
Startles, me back-to-scene
Do I dare to look?

My head is spinning,
I felt weak in my knees
My stomach was swirling
Startles, me back-to-scene.

It could happen to me,
I can see
The elegance of your smile.
