"I love you"

Cherish every opportunity to say I love you when you are young.

If I like you, I will tell you.

I no longer worry about being hurt by love. I no longer hide the jealousy born of love in my heart. I don't worry about being that silly girl in love who asks for your care and tenderness. I am also not afraid of being betrayed or deceived by you. I am willing to shed a tear for you.

I like to see you smile. Watching you dance and tell me stories.

I even love the heartache of hating you for missing you. I used to stand by the sink in the summer and let the biting groundwater wash my palms. I would like to recall the pain.

I would like to be your young little bride and listen to your story of your youth.

Maybe you'll make me laugh, maybe you'll think that I'm a lonely and innocent traveler in your life, just like any other girl. Maybe you will forget me soon.

I'll tell you how I really feel, maybe until you stop thinking it's precious.

If I like you, I will tell you.

I love that you grin at me in the sun. I also love your cry in the middle of the night.

If I like you, I will tell you.
