Why can I only talk with you all night? Why do I want to see you again right after saying goodbye?

Among friends, you are the most special, always making me feel so close

You say you care for me more than others do, but you don't say how much more
More than friends, but not quite lovers, sweetly troubled, joyfully confused
What will become of us in the future? I can't wait to know the answer

Just three words, don't hesitate so long, as long as you say them, you can have me

Why do you want only me to keep you company when you're lonely? Why do I only let you comfort me when I'm sad?

In our hearts, we clearly both have feelings, why don't we dare to face them?
