In response, the female lover teasingly reciprocates, admitting how his touch and proximity trigger goosebumps and intense romantic feelings.

They ponder whether their love will lead to marriage and reaffirm that true love never fades like a passing thirst, concluding in an energetic banter of musical rhythm.
