My love,
Are you doing well?
My love,
My heart longs for you!
My love,
Living with your memories every day,
My love,
My heart is fighting a war!
Even if the war ends,
Inside my heart,
The battle will never end!
Will this war ever end?
Tell me, my love...
Even if the war ends,
Inside my heart,
The battle will never end!
Will this war ever end?
Tell me, my love...
In the storm that lights up the sky,
Bullets feel like bouquets of flowers!
Inside the prison of my mind,
You are an angel!
Only because of you will I survive,
My love...
