The way he smiled,
It got to me.
Leftover mangu,
Extra salami,
Say cheese.
Straight to my heart,
Chills through my spine.
Oh, his bright smile,
It said to me,
Merci beau coup,
So soft, so sweet.
Few tears of joy,
Ran down my face.
I said to him,
Bon appetite.
The sun, the moon,
His pearly whites,
It shone through me.
It grew on me.
It stayed with me.
To my delight,
Just once, no more
A famshed soul.
