With your Corona-like eyes,
You try to kill me.
Even without any sanitizer,
You completely wipe me clean.
Even when you walk by wearing a mask,
You look so effortlessly cool.
Pity my poor heart,
You have put it under lockdown.
You are like an elusive little bird,
Sometimes you finish me off with just a smile.
If there were a contest for showing attitude,
You would easily take first place.
As each day passes, it hurts so much,
Just yearning to be with you.
I am so scared to confess my love,
And I struggle without you ever knowing.
As each day passes, it hurts so much,
Just yearning to be with you.
I am so scared to confess my love,
And I struggle without you ever knowing.

Sometimes you finish me off with just a smile.
If there were a contest for showing attitude,
You would easily take first place.
To look into your eyes and talk,
I planned it every single day.
But whenever I come near you,
I just stutter and struggle.
Love that is never spoken
Is love that never wins.
Yet if I confess and get rejected,
I will never be able to survive.
You are like an elusive little bird,
Sometimes you finish me off with just a smile.
If there were a contest for showing attitude,
You would easily take first place.
As each day passes, it hurts so much,
Just yearning to be with you.
I am so scared to confess my love,
And I struggle without you ever knowing.
As each day passes, it hurts so much,
Just yearning to be with you.
I am so scared to confess my love,
And I struggle all alone.
