"Life is more suffering than pleasure. But the good parts are worth living for."


Je t’aime 

I say with a face so brave knowing you won’t understand 

Holding on tight that these words fade from your mind like when ocean meets sand

Tu es tres jolie

Your Mandarin doesn’t translate the French I serenade you with

I want you to see me valiant like a hero in a myth 

Tu est mon amour

Of course, I know my words are hidden in foreign tongue

So my secret sentences will be in French when sung.

I love french and wanted to challenge myself by mixing it into an English poem.
