When I Fall In Love

When I fall in love,
I want to be with her always;

In happiness,to smile with her,
and be the one to hug her near.

In sadness, to cry with her,
and be the one, to dry her tears.

When I fall in love,I will spend my
every waking and sleeping moments with her

and catch each moment in its
eternally lovely form.

When I fall in love,I will miss her
the very moment I say 'goodbye'

and my heart will yearn for
the very moment I say hello'.

When I fall in love,
all my old hurts and pains
will seem lost and faded away
and I will be strong and brave once again.

When I fall in love,
I want you to be happy always, 

ever and feel like
the happiest person of them all . . .

Because that's what I will feel,
when I fall in love,with you.
