If I were half a century younger<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would not shy away from falling in love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
with the most handsome guy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
who stole my heart<\/p>\n\n\n\n
as he walked past by me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
through that narrow alleyway<\/p>\n\n\n\n
on a sunny morning<\/p>\n\n\n\n
in a spring day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would not give him away to the first bidder<\/p>\n\n\n\n
who had the courage I lacked<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to take his hand and invite him to the first kiss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If I were half a century younger<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would set the world on fire<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to reach his heart<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and take his hand and carve<\/p>\n\n\n\n
traces of my longings in his memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would not leave those deep grey eyes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
which hid behind the long lashes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to fill with tears<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and the kindness of his smile<\/p>\n\n\n\n
which could open the doors<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to the heaven of happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
