When I see you, my heart skips a beat. I’m preparing myself to confess my feelings. Meeting you feels like a stroke of luck, and I never thought I’d fall this deep. You’re like a sweet candy I can’t let go of, and I’m done with unrequited love. Oh, love, you’re truly beautiful, and my heart has never trembled like this before. Tonight, my heart is lost in a midnight fantasy.

How can I get closer to you? I wonder if it would be okay to keep catching your gaze. Tonight again, I’m lost in a midnight fantasy. I can’t help but keep looking at you, even if you have someone else. The day you smile at me, I’ll tell you I love you and that I’ll hold you close. Yes, I’m watching you.

Yes, I can sense it and know a lot of things. Even if you’re someone else’s girl, it’s okay. I like it even if I have to be patient. I know love can bring pain, but I’ve already fallen for you. From the moment I first saw you, I don’t know how much time has passed since then, but every night, my heart is in a midnight fantasy. I can’t help but keep looking at you, even if you have someone else.

Yes, I’m watching you. I can sense it and know a lot of things. Even if you’re someone else’s girl, it’s okay. I like it even if I have to be patient. I know love can bring pain, but I’ve already fallen for you. I’ve fallen so deep that I can’t escape. Even I find this side of me unfamiliar. No matter what happens or how much time passes, I’ll protect you and hold my breath for you. I want to dream with you forever.

Now, I’ll place my heart beside you.
