| I think it's just a cute creative way for him saying he likes a girl. I'm gonna guess that the first line, if said grammatically, should be written "your sting, red full, stops my skin, dotted, scratch scratch. now I'm bleeding." When you set off a statement with commas like that, the statement is used to describe the previous noun. So, "red full" describes her sting. Which, thinking about how he later says that it stops his skin and makes him bleed, probably just means that she is wanted by multiple people. He feels greatly for her in a longing capacity, "I'm absorbed in your thinking, and you don't know." So, he likes her, but she has no idea how much so. He doesn't take a chance at telling her because he's afraid he'll get hurt if he does (He stays safe in the chalet so the bears can't get him.) It's rather adorable. | |
