Just the name made me fall in love
Like it rolled off the tongue
And into my heart
A name I wanted to sing
And a face I thought
I’d have to draw to be real
Sometimes I wonder why I didn’t act sooner
Mostly I wonder why I didn’t notice sooner
Your dark wavy hair
Your eyes brown, but still so warm
Your thin lips always seemed ready to smile
I may get older, but I don’t think the faces get sweeter
We met in Spanish class
I sat in front of you
But I somehow always behind you
I might have seen you after class
But we were always going different directions
The only thing I wish I told you
Was “Te Quieroâ€
