Verse 1
They see me quiet, walking far — day scholar, always on the go
Ready pen, fresh fruit in hand — wherever she may need to go
They say I serve, I give too free, “just a friend” is all they name
But they don’t know the careful fire from which every offering came
I watched her since Senior Five — bright voice carrying heavy load
Smiling even when her heart walked down a harder road
Verse 2
When she blamed my work one day, I spoke soft but stood my ground
And I felt her tone turn gentle — something new was found
I never shouted, never rushed — I let my actions tell the truth:
Everything I bring to her is not a duty… but a proof
Proof that I see deeper past the words she chooses to display
That I respect the whole of her — not just the bright part every day
Pre‑Chorus
I do not give to be received
I give so value may be seen
Not cash or show to impress the crowd
But what my true humanity can mean…
Chorus
Yes, I am quiet outside — but inside the river runs deep
I do not love like others do — just for the show or sleep
If even as a friend I stand so true and freely give…
Oh how would it be — when one understands the life I live?
High school days are fading fast, this truth I leave behind:
Silence holds the strongest love — when the right heart chooses to find.
Verse 3
I seek one who knows her worth, respects her body and her mind
Who hears before she answers, and leaves fear far behind
One who shares a morning greeting like warm tea poured fresh and true
And sees my difference clearly — not just what the world views
I will speak of her proudly right at my parents’ table place
Value so high it shines above every common chase
Bridge
Friends say “hurry, you are late” — but timing is not measured fast
Pure gold does not rush to shine — it waits to be held at last
If she reads these lines I wrote, and feels the change begin to start…
She’ll know: Jimmy never played a game… I lived every part.
Final Chorus
Yes, I am quiet outside —but inside the river runs deep
