Listen to my heart, please
do you hear it skip a beat?
it happens when it's you i see
and it happens when you greet me

and look at my face, please.
do you see me blush again?
it happens when you smile at me
and happens when you turn my way

stare at my feeble wrists
do you see them choked with red?
it's what happens when you say there's another
and that you rather see me as a friend.

Look at the rope that hugs my neck
you see my visage, so blank, so pail?
it's because you smiled when you told me
that love will never, never fail.
