Hoeveel ik van je hou [English translation]

I have thought

But remained silent way too much

I have talked

But rarely said anything

I have battled

But I often didn't know against what

I know my boundaries

But I never pushed them

For the audience

I was a smooth talker

I always found exactly the right word

But most often it was mostly theatre

And I said that what people most wanted to hear

But to get my heart

To speak to you

To those whom I love so terribly much

I unfortunately really had to break open my mouth

Because I never randomly said I love you

I hope that I

Could have made you feel

That sometimes my glance was sufficient for you

That despite my simple shortcomings

You have known how much I love you

You have known, haven't forgotten, never forgotten

How much I love you
