When we first met
I held back so much
afraid to show my deepest feelings
Note:hold back 踌躇,阻止,抑制,隐瞒 As I got to know you better
your gentleness and honesty
encouraged me to open up
and I started a trust
in you that I never had
with anyone else
Once I started to express
my feelings
I realized that
this is the only way
to have a relationship
It is such a wonderful feeling
to let myself
be completely known to you
Thank you
so much
for showing me
what two people can
share together
I look forward to
spending many beautiful
times with you
