And some how my temperature decreases.
Words come out from my heart,
But it stops before it reaches my vocal cord.
To tell you or not to tell you--- I always have confusions,
Like Prufrock, I can not make simple confessions.
If I tell you will I lose my respect?
Or, will you think about it from a positive aspect?
Will I tell you in a restaurant or in a park?
Will I look at your eyes and tell you in the dark?
I will ask you to become mine,
You will become the Queen of my heart and will reign.
You might say that you did not feel in that way and you are free like a dove,
I will tell you that I am just a boy standing in front of a girl and asking for her love.
Will I say all these and we become lovebirds?
Or, will I better keep them in my heart as unsaid words?
