When I look at your face,
I feel it's the only face I ever want to see again.
When I see your hair
I want to run my fingers through it, feeling its smooth texture.
When I hear your voice,
I want to listen to you all day and night.
When I hear you laugh,
I want to be the one that made you laugh.
When you hug someone,
I want to be the one you hug lovingly.
If I said "I love you,"
would you love me back?
