The dryish "you" with flirty "thee"
She (just by slip-of-tongue?!?) replaces.
And filled anew with dreamy glee,
A lovestruck fellow's heartbeat races.
My eyes transfixed, I lose my breath.
I stand before her -- helpless, mute.
I finally gulp, "YOU'RE kinda cute."
But think, "I'll love THEE unto death!"
Thank you so much for the very helpful answer.
And dude - you're a genius! The poem translation is awesome. .. Now where's that little sheriff-badge button? =)
