The Red Bouquet

The whole park is ready to welcome the winter
I can hear the kids playing cheerfully
The mischievous angel plays trick that from the kid's tiny hand,
...a red balloon slips out and flies away
"You can't usually see what's truly important to you",
...a quote from a novel I read somewhere
 
I love you, I love you, even though you can't see it,
...believe me that my mood right now is like the red flowers
Let the sky be my blank canvas, moving along the wind,
...I'm dancing and filling it with my thoughts of you
 
Hugging my school bag with both hands,
...I squeeze it too tight that my arms hurt
Twilight dyes the city, people are hurrying home
Today I'll be alone again, just a little longer
My favorite body part are my lips but...
...they're so bad with words, I might grow to hate them
 
I love you, I love you, I wish I can convey it but...
..even when alone,I can barely express my passionate feelings
Instead of words, I want to become a red bouquet...
...and fly into your heart right this moment
 
I love you, I love you, I wish I can convey it but...
..even when alone,I can barely express my passionate feelings
Instead of words, I want to become a red bouquet...
...and fly into your heart right this moment
