SOLUTION

Many problems in front of me,
All without solution.
But I never get a chance to try and solve them,
And that's the bigger problem.
I suddenly run into you,
You stare at me.
What suddenly flashes through my mind is,
First I should find a solution for you.

Many problems tomorrow,
But only one now.
I pretend to talk seriously with you,
But you see through me.
You laugh with a calculated ease,
Extending a hand,
To take my disingenuousness and problems,
And accept them together.

Outwardly I look so serious,
But inwardly I am unconcerned.
My mind is a complex mess,
But what I need is simplicity.
I assumed nobody could see through,
My concealed temper.
And while your every move embarrassed me,
I secretly enjoyed it.

Although there are many problems in my mind,
They don't equal the limitless joy I feel but no one can see.
There's no feeling between you and I,
But every time I kiss you I have to show you that I'm crazy about you.
Yesterday I looked at the world with cold eyes,
However today I took a hard look at you and still couldn't determine your identity.
Oh! My God! My God! A new problem…
The world and I will be subject to your solution.
