I told you so.
I told my heart : Never again.
It said to me : You speak in vain!
Said I : Never again will you beat faster at the glimpse of a smile.
Said my heart : Just wait a while!
Said I : Never again will you skip a beat at the whiff of perfume.
Said my heart : Oh, don't assume!
Said I : Never again will you swell with anticipation of a touch.
Said my heart : You expect too much!
Said I : Never again will you burn with passion.
Said my heart : Don't be so certain!
Said I : Never again will you be filled with happiness.
Said my heart : Your doubt I will dismiss!
Said I : Never again will you ache with disappointment.
Said my heart : Such a brave statement!
Said I : Never again will you be hollow and deprived.
Said my heart : The time has arrived!
I turned and saw your face,
And anew began the race.
A race with no clear winner,
A race that will make my heart shiver.
Smugly, triumphantly spoke up my heart :
I told you so!
