The Apple of My Eye

I'm afraid of letting my mouth blurt out how much I love you;
If only you knew how brave I was trying to be;
I've been feeling like a tiger in a zoo,
But this little cat cannot be free.

You are always in my dreams;
You smile and I die.
If only I had little self-esteem,
I would be flying over the sky.

My friend, my lovely mate,
You have no idea how much I crave
Your juicy lips wish to taste;
In a whisper I dare say:

That you are always in my dreams,
And when you smile, I die.
I'll never forget the way you beams,
Because you are the apple of my eye.
