The glint in your eyes, the glow on your face;
Even a complete stranger could tell you’re sold –
Deeply, completely, it draws my envy,
But truly, this is all I wish I could say now:
Save that smile, lady, for the right moment.
Save that heart, lady, for the right man –
All you want now, all you think you do,
Is it not a lie?

He did not make you fall so deep, lady,
You did.
He did nothing to deserve your all, lady,
Nothing.
And yet so freely you give, all that is most precious;
So hopelessly lost, in your beautiful dreams.
I see you and I tremble in fear, lady,
For you.
Beautiful dreams are but dreams, lady,
Just dreams.

True love is hard work, true love is rare, lady,
But most of all, and this I have finally realised –
True love is only given to those who are far-sighted;
Those who do not even see any options, but to stay.
You’ve no options, does he?
You’re smiling, is he?
You’ve got a truly beautiful smile, lady,
Don’t let just anyone love it.

Yes, in that moment, I think that is what I really wanted to say to her.
