Wishing and wanting to see you, I step on thin ice....

 

Oh, how I wished and wanted to see 

you, but you were a person I could not 

see at will. With the tip of my shoe I 

played with the thin ice that had

frozen on a small pool of water. I did 

not know what to do with my feelings 

of wanting to see you.

When two people fall in love, it is 

sometimes possible for them to see 

each other whenever they want. But 

with me, I did not have the courage to 

go see him, so I stayed at the edge of 

the thin ice.

Like the thin ice in the early spring, 

my feelings were so fragile that with a 

small shock they would have broken 

apart.
