Ella's Rain of Love: Dice Ailes' Melodic Declaration

Expressing a feeling of closeness yet distance.
There are butterflies trapped in my tummy

One day they will learn to fly and be free again

But until then I dey fall for you
Despite the challenges, expressing a commitment to falling in love.
Aye
Expressions and sounds, possibly emphasizing emotion or excitement.
