Look at him, just like a god,that man sitting across from you,whoever he is,listening to yourclose, sweet voice,your irresistible laughterAnd O yes,it sets my heart racing—one glance at youand I can't get any words out,my voice cracks,a thin flame runs under my skin,my eyes go blind,my ears ring,a cold sweat pours down my body,I tremble all over,turn paler than grass.
