• Be gentle, dear heart
    Beat quietly in my chest
    His approach makes you flutter
    Makes my breath shorten

    Be kind, my eyes
    Don't stare as he sits quietly
    In his corner staring idly about
    Don't stare into his deep green eyes

    Be strong, red lips
    Don't let him see
    How you quiver at his smile
    Keep yourself straight, indifferent

    Be soft, loud voice
    Trap him with grace
    Be like velvet to his hearing
    But don't let him hear your own excitement

    Be graceful, my hands
    Lead him to my arms
    Wave gently in the air
    Hold his hand in yours with care

    Be open, my ears
    Listen to his liquid voice
    But don't let it distract you
    For his words are meaningful

    He could never hope to see
    How my very being rejoices!
    The very thought of him
    Is enough to make me dance!

    It seems our futures will be bright
    He still seems happy, his eyes still shine
    If he is happy for his life
    Then, I must say, so am I

    Even if he chose different, and our love fails
    I would never be hateful, angry or anything else
    But he will always stay close as my friend
    I will always hold him in my arms

    My eyes will always see him
    My lips curve in a smile
    My hands will always feel his touch
    My ears, always open to his voice

    So be gentle, dear heart
    Beat quietly in my chest
    His approach will make you flutter
    Will make my breath shorten
