Poker Face

"Angered?" I said, and you laughed awkwardly
"A lie!" You said, it was too ridiculous, and I got really angry

Really? So you don't get mad at all?

I want to touch your heart, which is separated by a poker face
I'll keep looking at you straight without blinking my eyes

Just slightly changing the colors of your expression
Your pure thoughts are signed with no words
And it's definitely reaching me

But it's hard to receive it, and I'm still searching for an answer
Because it's shapeless, so I'm filled with anxiety

I think that even though we're not together, our hearts are connected
In the room without sound, at the window, the flowers have withered away
I've been gently stroking you like a petal

Even though I didn't say anything, my eyes were closed
But I want to cry because it's so sad

But I know that even if we're not good at using our words,
We can be brave and try our best.

Deep down, I'm rooting for us to see the same things again
I'll keep waiting for that day alone
It's okay even if you don't say anything beautiful

Because my heart is here, so I know it's okay
I will definitely deepen my love more and more.

Even without a shape, we are connected
And our hearts are shining brighter and brighter.
