Bonita

Just one look and I felt something 

A raven-haired beauty from afar 

One glance and already succumbing 

To your beauty and your sweet charm 

Overwhelmed by you so I said nothing

Infatuation with you felt a bit bizarre 

You had my dormant heart jumping 

You glittered like the brightest star 

Concentrated for years on numbing 

Lived my life as though in a jar 

When it came to love there was no such thing 

But like it or not you were now on my radar 

Enchanted by your beauty

But I'm afraid to approach 

You exceed any diamond or ruby 

Into your sphere I dare not to encroach

Learning Spanish phrases, trying to impress

You find it somewhat charming

But my feelings I dare not profess

For you might find my feelings a bit disarming

Yearning for the youth I once possessed

But I'm too sick and too old

You brought out feelings so long suppressed

But these silly feelings I must withhold

New adventures and happiness await you

So, my silly feelings I'm discarding

When it comes to affections I can't construe

Let me just say, "Vaya con Dios my darling."
