Try

Whenever your lips curve into a smile.

Catching it even just for a little while,

My heart leaps with so much fulfillment.

Because of witnessing such a precious moment.

Whenever you show the slightest affection,

My arms longed to wrap you with appreciation.

Whenever you sit so close beside me,

My soul is melted by the ember of glee.

But when I try to penetrate in your heart,

I feel a boundary that pushes us apart.

Why are you trying to repel me by force?

Why are you restraining my heart to touch yours?

If someone has hurt you in the past,

Don't judge me that I'll do the same that fast.

If you would only offer me a chance,

Your broken heart will be mended by my acceptance.

I can't promise that you won't be hurt again,

But I promise to love you with all that I can.

Now, if you think this love is something foolish,

Try loving me and your doubts will perish.
