Our Precious Chance of Happiness

you're proud of your book learning and often boast about but stand helpless and perplexed when friends shed tears or shout your diction is so witty, your wording eloquent but when you talked about affection no one knew what you meant you would never fly a kite or dance in summer rain for you an idle hour is just waste and all in vain you've never read a fairy story about a cordial elf you'll never be capable of laughing at yourself come to your senses as long as for you I yearn watch out, my friend, don't you notice how you spurn our precious chance of happiness you seem always broody and never lose your poise a children's playground in your view just means annoying noise you're always self - possessed, remarkably controlled hence in your younger days you already looked somewhat old you think adults must always stand with both feet on the ground you hate broad laughter and you would never fool around tender feelings, sentiments you determinedly reject you rely upon sagacity and keen intellect your aloofness gives cause for serious concern watch out, my friend, don't you notice how you spurn our precious chance of happiness to all appearances you are always on the ball behind your back you got the nickname "Mr. Know-it-all" programming languages to you strongly do appeal but with overwhelming emotions you never learned to deal extraordinary is your knowledge of the overseas trade you are able to edit cases which are high in the grade in the minimum of time you completed your degree but don't come up with the idea of sending flowers to me if you mess things up now I will never return watch out, my friend, don't you notice how you spurn our precious chance of happiness you say these sunshiny days are just too good to last you never let go, no, you are addicted to your past you keep your distance and insist on the view from above you look for safe and stable shelter from your passion and my love I´m not a native speaker, so I cordially invite other members to send me suggestions for improvement. Thank you very much!
