Do you see me, Carissimi?.
Do you see me pining for you?.
Fear not, mi reina, enigmatic I may be,
Yet I shall unfurl and unravel my intricate designs for you.

For though I am shrouded in mystery,
I have a heart that seeks to be free.
I may be enigmatic, but I'll let you see within,
I'll show you the man that's hidden within my skin.

I'll pull back the curtains, open the door,
And give you a glimpse of who I am, and nothing more.
For you, Carissimi, I'll be an open book,
I'll let you peer inside the depths of my soul.
And let you tug at my heartstrings,
For if I loved you less, I may speak of it more.
