{Thean kudika

If i had to choose between
Loving or breathing
I’d use my last breathe to say
I love you….
Don't hide, don't hide...
You stayed hidden in your shyness and haste...
Don't hide, don't hide...
Even while being near, you left me longing...
Even though the honeyed moon is far away...
Without any strength, the bee still draws close...
Arriving in the blink of an eye...
Forgetting the honey, the moon simply admires the view, hey...
My heart is peeking out...
Wait a little while to talk with it...
My lips run away and hide...
Wait a little while to talk with them...
I feel like reaching out and touching you...
My youth feels a little shy...
I really adore your face...
Take a look for a moment and talk to it...
To drink the honey...
Time is passing slow...
To drink the honey...
My heart is pumping low...
If I had to choose between...
Loving or breathing...
I'd use my last breath to say...
I love you...
Wings are sprouting on me...
When your sweet scent drifts and blows over me...
Bit by bit, I forgot myself...
I met my desires once again...
As tingles crawl along my neck...
I giggle from the ticklish shyness...
Like I've gone crazy...
Your sharp, twirled mustache...
Keeps drawing inside my heart...
Your sweet name...
My moon is wet with drops of dew...
I covered you like a blanket with my warm breath...
In the fiery heat, a gentle drizzle falls...
Even holding an umbrella, I got drenched with you...
The light fades into darkness as the moment draws near...
I gently held your fingers...
Staying awake in the dark...
My sweet honey, my girl...
I softly savored...
My sweet honey...
To drink the honey...
Time is passing slow...
To drink the honey...
My heart is pumping low...
If I had to choose between...
Loving or breathing...
I'd use my last breath to say...
I love you...
Don't wander away, don't wander away...
Without hiding, I will stay by your side, my dearest...
Don't wander away, don't wander away...
Casting shyness aside, I will give you my sweetness...
Even though the honeyed moon is far away...
Without any strength, the bee still draws close...
Arriving in the blink of an eye...
Forgetting the honey, the moon simply admires the view, hey...
To drink the honey...
Time is passing slow...
To drink the honey...
My heart is pumping low...
If I had to choose between...
Loving or breathing...
I'd use my last breath to say...
I love you...
