(Humming...)
Without leaving my eyes,
who is this love that speaks to me?
Without holding my hand,
is every moment just a mirage?
Living with you,
just this time is enough.
To know that I exist,
just this path is enough.
It cannot end,
this love is truly endless.
Oh flower,
this love is the very shore of life.
In everything
that I see, it is only your wave.
Every day,
this love aches inside me.
Come close to me.
Even when you walk away without speaking,
your silence speaks to me.
Like moisture inside water,
you are always within me.
An unspoken love arrives
and torments me without taking my life;
inside visions that do not exist,
waves crash and churn.
My troubled heart
battles in a stormy wind.
Won't the dawn break even a little?
My sky longs for it.
(Humming...)
Without leaving my eyes,
who is this love that speaks to me?
Without holding my hand,
is every moment just a mirage?
Living with you,
just this time is enough.
To know that I exist,
just this path is enough.
