If Only Your Eyes Say 'Yes'

What romantic/heroic things would you be willing do to express your joy of winning her heart, if only she said 'yes'?

Here are some suggestions, from one man who lists what he would do "If Only Your Eyes Say 'Yes' ":

  • Put the mountain on his shoulder
  • Fight in any war
  • Take the wave from the sea
  • Sap the rocks
  • Bring the moon to her house
  • Take target practice at the wind
  • Count every particle of soil on earth
  • Cut the stars of the skies and put them next to her eyes
  • replace the 'eyes' of the moon with pictures of her eyes
  • Remove the Sun, build a door for her eyes, and then put a mirror in front of her eyes (the idea being that in presence of her eyes, there would be no need for the sun).

Impossible, you say? Nonsense, says the man in love. "None of this would be any effort all, if your eyes say 'yes'.

From Daryoush's "Permission" ("Ejazeh" or "Ageh Cheshmat Began Areh")
