Poetry Corner: A Love Affair with Paris

The original poem was written in French.

I dreamed of meeting you someday,

But the future brought us near;

You, the one for whom I’d always pray;

Exceeded all I’d hoped, my dear.

The first time that we met face to face;

It was love at first sight, no doubt.

We had so much fun, worries erased;

All the world’s problems were shut out.

But time slipped away from our hands;

You leave me with a heart so restless,

In love with you, Paris stands;

Don’t leave me with hopes left endless.

One day, our paths will intertwine;

What then will become of us?

Will we forget sweet moments divine?

Can our story start again, thus?

The choice is ours, yours and mine,

To meet once more or let it be.

But I wish to see you, sunshine,

If only no distance stretched between you and me!
