My Anxious Heart

I think of the day I laid my eyes on you,
I knew then and there I cannot have you.
We talked, we laughed, we smiled together,
Yet deep inside, I knew we can't be together.

Through the years, I watch you smile,
Through the days, I see you happy.
But this feeling I have for you
Is so strong, I just want to be with you.

Though fate denies me,
Though time deprives me,
I will wait until the end,
'Till chance finally favors me.

But time is so cruel,
Fate has forsaken me.
My heart is now anxious,
Feeling like you're growing distant.

So here I am, not knowing what to do,
Asking myself, 「Should I court you?」
The lady in my dreams since I was a kid,
Here now… so close, yet seemingly so far away.
