Secret Admirer

He said, "You are a simple girl,
Who appreciates simple things.
You are a lovely girl,
Who deserves to be loved.
You are a soft-hearted girl,
Who likes everybody and understand them.
You are an unloved girl,
Who receives nothing like flowers and love letters.
You are a positive girl,
Who finds good outcome in everything.
You are an intelligent girl,
Who knows a lot of things."

He said, "You deserve someone to love."
She said, "I have to wait for him."
He asked, "How long can you wait?"
She replied, "Till I get tired of waiting!"
He asked, "When will it be?"
She answered, "If he gets married."
He asked, "To you?"
She answered, "To someone he loves."
He said, "And it's you."
She retorted, "That's impossible."

He said, "You underestimate yourself.
You are supposed to say good points about you.
Don't be sorry,
You will be loved by someone.
Time will come,
You will receive flowers, love letters and special things.
You just don't know,
Someone is secretly loving you and is coward to confess.
Learn to look around you,
Perhaps he is just waiting for you to turn around.
Don't pine your attention,
to someone who is busy loving someone else."

She retorted, "Why do you care about me?"
He smiled, "Because you deserve to get love."
She glared, "Everyone does, right?"
He winked, "Right. So I don't want you to be gloomy."
She asked, "Who said I am?"
He answered, "You can't fool me."
She grinned, "It seems you know me well."
He smiled, "Of course, I've known you for so long."
She asked, "How's that? We are not that close."
He frowned, "I told you to look around you."
