Who knows? I might allow you to love me freely.

"start talking"

You're staring at me.

With loving eyes,

Yet, you can't say anything.

Your heart is full of loving words.

You have all planned to tell me that you are in love.

You're hesitant to say how you feel.

Why do you stalk me everywhere I go?

You have wonderful love phrases.

But you're terrified to express yourself.

Your heart burns at the thought of me rejecting you.

Why don't you say those words to release yourself?

Who knows? I might allow you to love me freely.

I might love you more than you think I should.

My kisses and caresses might heal your broken heart.

Start talking, or you might not see me again.

If you don't say anything, I'll flee and disappear.

I could see through you.

You have a lot to say.

If you fail now, let us walk away from each other.
