Language Barrier

60 14 10
                                    

I wanted to talk to you.
I was afraid you would misunderstand me.
Language barrier hurt me badly.
It prevented me to interact with you.

The thought of talking to you every day.
It brought me an extreme happiness.
The second I thought it was impossible.
It killed me deep in my heart.

Should I teach you English first?
To be able to talk to you.
Or should I learn Korean first.
To understand each other.

Ah!
It was so hard to make you notice me.
