My gentle gaze

followed her delicate lips,

whispering the words letter by letter,

like a magic spell.

Then, suddenly,

a slight snivel slipped from her sweet mouth

that awakened my desire

and tempted me to wish:

Oh! If only I could be the magic words

that have so far profoundly touched her heart.
