Slave
Oh, how exciting and alarming
That moment has been!
A compliment to you was made by me.
And why is it so challenging?
The path that has begun is unsafe.
Beauty makes me dizzy, I realized.
You're on my mind,
I become a weak-willed slave,
I get into a fluid paradise,
But still satisfied,
I said goodbye to pride.
I've given up all, and I've fallen.
To the beautiful slender legs of yours,
I've been dreaming about you for aeons.
You're like one of the cover girls.
It's like I'm cuckoo,
Maddened by you,
Like all your fans—an unimaginable multitude—
And I'm lassoed too.
You threw a lasso over my heart,
And pulled.
It wasn't hard.
It just rushed over to you.
It's yours; hold it.
And do with it whatever you want.
But there is only one longing:
Don't leave it for too long.
