[English]

You are my good companion

Always true

A best friend

Forbidden love

I have so many more feelings

To control these thoughts

So I don't lose everything

For me to be strong

I want you so much

And I'm not the one who chooses

But my heart grew

A desire to take everything and put it in your lap

My plea from here is this:

I know it beats from here

It's true, it's deceiving

I think I'm going to give up

But it hurts me easily

I will trust and wait for it to decide

[Portuguese]
