Batman

Simon

J'ai eu tout le temps du monde,
Pour toi.
Il y avait des moments où mon corps tremblait,
juste à l'idée de te regarder,
Et bien que ton nom ne soit pas Simon,
Je penserai toujours à toi de cette façon,
C'est peut-être simplement une idée de toi
Et je n'ai jamais vraiment eu une bonne idée,
C'est peut-être ça,
Mais Simon,
Personne ne peut m'empêcher de souhaiter de ne pas t'aimer.

    I had to do a quick google translate on this one, but, woah. I do love this! its seems very nostalgic and wishful and beautiful.

    I write because the music of language spoke to me in books and I wanted to make a beautiful noise to answer back ~ Lee Williams.

    DO you speak fluent french? I have been taking french for four years and It took me a while to get figure this out. But its trully beautiful! and French really is able to capture the spirit of the poem. I am fascinated by language and I am curious why you choose French? Becuase it really works, I think better than english.
