I wish my heart had a tongue to speak,
To tell how I feel right now,
I wish this heart were more willing to lead,
For I am, truly, madly, deeply in love.
I wish my mouth would cooperate,
For my voice is too shy to utter,
I wish this lips were more brave,
So I could tell much I love you
If I had a time machine,
I would choose to be a boy,
So I can tell my feeling inside.
Trying harder to catch your attention,
I use a song, a melody of hope,
But I guess the song wasn’t good enough,
'Cause your eyes still don’t find my scope.
I commanded my feet to come near you,
But they didn’t bring me to your direction,
A silent battle, a heart’s quiet plea,
Caught in the web of my own affection.
Each moment stretches, a fragile thread,
Wishing for courage, for words to flow,
But here I stand, in this quiet dread,
Fallen for you, yet too scared to show.
So I linger in shadows, a heart on display,
Hoping one day you’ll see me,
And in that moment, I’ll find a way,
To let my love shine, to finally be free.
