I see the reflection of my happiness,
In your eyes,
Picture perfect,
Like a bouquet of posies,
Like a sky full of sunshine...

I still remember that day,
The day you proposed,
And politely rejected,
On my heart,
A heavy burden,
Like a rock...

I wish I could say yes,
At that moment,
Longing to see you again,
To treat me special,
Like a queen you promised...

That awkward experience,
Unfolds the difference,
You are special,
Among equals,
Like a rainbow in the dark...

I'm sorry to let you go,
Without letting you know,
How much I love you,
Like monkeys love bananas...
