How do You Tell a Girl?
   A Lamentation by Adrian Mailenna
   For a girl I tried to tell. Thirty-first of October, Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Four.


How do you tell a girl her smile glitters,
whenever you close your eyes?
How do you say that her laughter echoes
within your private dreams?
What do you tell a girl you long to hold,
when she's stolen your breath away?
What do you say, when most you want your words to sing,
but then they will not come?
