Analysis of truthfully
when they ask about you
i cannot stop smiling.
trust me, i have tried.
they mention your name
and i lose control of my expression.
truthfully, i would prefer to be
less obvious with my emotions
but there is simply no hiding
how happy you make me.
isn’t that a beautiful thing?
