Under Moonshine

Quiet night clear sky,
I smile to chaste moonshine tonight.
For somehow, your smile stirs my heart.
I once said, only the most
Naive women,
Would use her life
As a gamble.

I never know love,
Never fall deep for someone.
Even the once
Time I got hurt
Was only obession,
I never know true love.

And maybe there was
Another time
When my heart fell,
My love wasn't mature.
I never know true love.

Not because I didn't love,
Only I didn't love deeply.
I was afraid to fall in love,
And to lose control
Over my feelings.

Quiet night clear sky,
I sit under the chaste moonshine.
I'm smiling
Just because
I think true love never comes.
