How much I like you*How much I like you,
You don’t need to know.
My fondness for you
Is mine alone,
And my yearning
Is more than enough for me alone.
Now,
I can like you
Even without you.

How can I prove
That I like you?
With words? Gifts? Morning and evening kisses?
Without such things, just knowing
How thankful and precious we are to each other is enough.
Whether you’re by my side or not, I’m happy to have you,
Someone I can cherish for a long time, perhaps forever.

cherish, thankful, yearning.
