I Do Too

Listen to poem:
What's in a charming smile, that lasted all the while. When was the last kiss, you knew it was missed. May you never walk alone, when so very far from home. Can shining sun come down to play, renewed in another lovely day. On bended knee, I take your hand.. ask 'will you wear this golden band?' In familiar eyes that knew mine too, heard soft as any whisper 'I do'.

What a romantic serenade to your love, love the last stanza the best - 'Familiar eyes that know mine too' - that is how true love feels!

Jennifer, Thank you. I hope it resonates the way it did for me. Min's song is much better in verse, and most definitely too hard for this heart to ever translate. In Vietnamese 'Ðung Yeu Nua, Em Met Roi' translates roughly to 'Won't Love Anymore, I'm Tired'. 'Have you ever heard of ~ The few rules when in love ~ First is not to lie ~ Second is not to lie a lot'. -Richard
