You fell into my heart
and I gently held you close
beside me...
You dissolved in my eyes
and I tucked you safely within me
with love...
Tell me, please tell me,
why did you walk away
so far from me...?
Wait, please stay,
let me live in your love,
me too...
You fell into my heart
and I gently held you close
beside me...
Even when you were there...
searching for the life I lost,
I searched and hesitated...
Until the very end, with all my love,
I will hold and protect you.
Come... your nights
and my dreams
will surely become one.
This happiness of living by your side...
I want it every single day.
As the darkness fades away,
a brand-new light begins to bloom.
For this heart to keep on beating,
life finds so much more meaning.
Am I melting, am I breaking apart?
Will I dissolve tomorrow in your love?
If it means joining you again,
I would part from you even today...
My love...
If I must be parted from you again,
I would die this very moment
right before your eyes...
It is enough, it is enough,
this one bond alone is enough,
it is enough...
It will live, it will live,
for a hundred lifetimes, my soul
will live on...
If it means joining you again,
I would part from you even today,
my love...
A sweet thrill, sheer joy,
spreads through my heart.
My body carries your fragrance,
filling the air around me.
A new kind of joy, a fresh comfort,
comes and surrounds me.
In just a single look from you,
I find myself falling too.
As the waves sing a lullaby,
the sea reaches the shore.
When you search for yourself inside me,
a poem is softly born.
Truth be told,
what more could I ever need?
Your fragrance in my breath...
that alone is enough.
You fell into my heart
and I gently held you close
beside me...
It is enough, it is enough,
this one bond alone is enough,
it is enough...
It will live, it will live,
for a hundred lifetimes, my soul
will live on...
Will live on... will live on...
