A Crazy Little Thing Called LOVE

 Someday...

I don't know how long been I been keeping everything and hiding all the truth inside my heart.

Every single time we bump into each other, or every time you turn to me.

You know how hard it is to act if nothing happened.

Do you hear something?

My heart is saying that I Love You so.

But I can't let it out, or let anyone know.

Do you hear something?

My heart still says right there waiting for you to open it up.

And I hope you would know... Someday.

Even if I love, even if I have a feeling for you. But deep inside my heart dares not. 

Every single time we bump into each other, or every time you turn to me.

You know how hard it is to pretend as if nothing happened.

Can you hear it?

My heart is saying that 'I do love you.'

But I can't let it out or even let anyone know

Do hear my heart?

It's right there waiting to be open.

And I hope that you would know... someday.
