Hesitating to tell
The guy before my very eyes.

Pleasantness emanates from
The floor as it begins to
Feel comfortably warm;
The rays of the morning
Sun shine three feet ahead.

Always feel in my heart—
Your propensity not to
Be able to simply
State that white is white.

With warmth and
Friendliness, surrounded
By those with whom I can be
Frank, exchange continues
Throughout the winter night.
