A flower bloomed, and two months have passed since.
As the gentle breeze brushed past, love was born.
I am here to share the sweetness, slowly and gently.
A flower bloomed, and two months have passed since.
As the gentle breeze brushed past, love was born.
I am here to share the sweetness, slowly and gently.
A flower bloomed, and two months have passed since.
As the gentle breeze brushed past, love was born.
When I possess the graceful rules of grammar,
And the living poetry to match is right beside me,
When tender, familiar memories have ripened sweet,
With one eye like a deer's and the other like a fish's,
This lovely little bird,
Has danced as desire awoke,
With a sweet fragrance rising from all over her body.
A flower bloomed, and two months have passed since.
As the gentle breeze brushed past, love was born.
As sweet juice drips from the lips,
And every shade of emotion rests within the eyes,
And sweet delight blossoms in our closeness,
A new color each day, a new pleasure each moment,
Unfolds all because of you.
From the fall of evening until the morning light,
To scoop you in my arms and playfully tease you.
A flower bloomed, and two months have passed since.
As the gentle breeze brushed past, love was born.
What happened in between was like a short story,
Our coming together is like an endless tale,
While to everyone else, it seems like a riddle!
Hand in hand and body pressed to body,
As we entwine and dance together,
While another woman pulls me toward her,
To lose oneself in a young woman's embrace...
A flower bloomed, and two months have passed since.
As the gentle breeze brushed past, love was born.
For you to share the sweetness, slowly and gently.
