2. With you before me, rather than ask me to preserve my virginity, tell me instead to die!
3. Why ask a thousand times what I want! A thousand times I've answered: I want only you!

5. : Will you never understand my sorrow? : Can a reflection ever pierce through the mirror?
6. Seeing the bangles on the girl's wrists, mistaking them for snares, the crow in fear won't even approach to eat the rice she scattered.

16. The knot in your hair bun has not even come loose yet, and you already want to leave!
17. Where did you learn to kiss like this? From books? Then please remember to send me the book that teaches how to be satisfied with just this kiss!
