“I’ve made up my mind
Now it’s up to you
I’ve told you how I felt
Now it’s time for you to make your move
I don’t wanna be another chapter from your story
But to be your happy ever after
I don’t want to be a placeholder
I don’t want to keep you warm for someone else’s arms

I think it’s time that we be honest about our feelings
It is no secret
The universe knows…”

Cause you're the only one I'm thinking of…”
