If I love you, and you happen to love me

Then when you are sick, I will go to take care of you and stay with you until you are well.

When you ride your bike, I'll ask you to be careful and to call me when you arrive.

When you forget to eat dinner, I'll pretend to be angry and say, "You'll make me worry!"

When your hair is messed up, I will smile and ruffle it for you, and then, my hand will stay on your hair for a few more seconds.

You want to cry, I will accompany you to drop tears, although the moment before my mood is actually jumpy.

The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a couple of days to get a lot more than just a couple of days.

When I am free, I will read your name and think about your voice.

When I'm shopping, I'll think: Ah! You're missing just the thing.

When I find something good, I must immediately think: I must ask you to come and see it.

After I lost sleep, I heard that you also lost sleep, will secretly giggle in my heart.

When I stayed up late, I smiled sweetly when I received a call from you just to say "don't be too tired, go to bed early" and went to sleep.

When I think about you, I know you are thinking about me too.

But if I love you and you don't happen to love me...

Then when you are sick, I will only call to console you, not dare to ask to stay by your side.

When you ride your bike, I will only secretly wish for your safety in my heart.

When you forgot to eat your dinner, I would just smile and ask, "Why don't you eat?"

When your hair is messed up, I can only gently tell you, "Your hair is messed up.

When you want to cry, I can only sigh helplessly beside you.

You want to laugh, I can only faintly smile at you.

I still read your name and think about your voice when I have free time.

When I'm shopping, I think: Who bought this for you?

When I find something good, I think helplessly: Who will be the one to tell you the good news?

After I have insomnia, I will hide from you to not see my dark circles under my eyes.

When I'm staying up late, I don't dare to expect a phone call to ring.

When I am thinking of you, I think, who are you thinking of at this time?

If I don't love you anymore, I must stop loving you and I will fall in love with someone else.

Is there anything in the world that will not be lost?

I believe there is, and you'd better believe it too.
