Analysis of C.H.5
R. Nava 1977 (Lingayen)
These thoughts came to mind
I hope expressing them you wouldn’t mind
Before you come upon a decision
Let’s clarify some confusion
If you’ve got desires that are unfulfilled
Don’t use lies as a shield
I wouldn’t want you to feel tied
And I wouldn’t want to be lied
I think that you should fulfill them
And get them out of your system
My intentions with you are pure
And so far my feelings are sure
But I want you to feel the same
So we wouldn’t have each other to blame
You seem younger than I am
And you shouldn’t waste your youth on a sham
I will have to repeat myself
So you know that I wouldn’t want to keep it in a shelf
Get your desires fulfilled
Before we both yield
