You Should Know

I don’t understand what’s happening.
Do I have to spell out my feelings?
Anyone could see that I’m in love with you.
I thought you knew all along.
We’ve been seeing each other lately.
How come you didn’t realize it?
Haven’t you noticed the look in my eyes?
I’ve told you complimentary things.
And I’ve treated you very kindly.

We often have lunch together at KFC.
I wait for you after work in the evenings.
Sometimes we go window-shopping at the plaza.
And we ride home on the same bus.
Yet you want to know if we’re just friends
Or if I have romantic feelings for you.
Should I answer that question?
You’re an intelligent girl so you should know.
You seem somewhat surprised,
But I think you’re not being honest with me.

You’re wondering what my intention is.
I’m puzzled by your ignorance of my love for you.
Come on, you can do better than that.
Now you’re planning to marry someone else.
How do you think it makes me feel?
All the time we’ve spent together,
You never mentioned another person.
Isn’t that rather strange, Isabella?
Oh I feel like such an idiot.
I can’t believe you’re doing this to me.
