Look at me, look at me. You say you want to see me, but when we meet, you avoid my eyes. Why do you say you want to see me, but when I’m right in front of you, you don’t look at me?

You’re curious, that’s why. If you like me, then why? Are you shy or do you dislike it? I want you to say it. Don’t make excuses, it feels like you’re just teasing me.

Just once, just once more, look at me with loving eyes. You came and brought me roses. I can see your feelings written all over your face. I look prettier today, don’t I? I seem more charming today.

Our time together is so precious. Tic toc, it keeps slipping away. Before I fall asleep on the way home, I’ll regret it. Look at me now.
