Oh, is it really true?
My life, as your overflowing
love makes me wither away,
Because of you, I searched for your eyes
In the gaze you cast,
I lose myself in a sweet daze
Oh, I am getting drenched in the rain
Looking at you, I melt away
My loneliness dissolves away
I go on sketching poems of love
Why did you come into my eyes?
Why?...
Oh moon, in my dream,
you gave me a gift, my life
My very life
When you come to my lips in a dream,
I completely surrender
Just to see you every day,
I keep dreaming
To merge as one
within your soul, I pray for a blessing
To hold your hands,
I ache with longing
With memories of you in my eyes,
I yearned with a love that consumes my life
I wither away
I searched for your eyes
In the gaze they cast,
I lose myself in a sweet daze
Oh, I am getting drenched in the rain
Looking at you, I melt away
My loneliness dissolves away
I go on sketching poems of love
Oh soft peacock feather,
for you to touch me gently,
I wait in deep prayer
Thinking of the moment
we unite, I live on
To hold you safely inside my eyes,
I ask for your permission
Covering you with my eyelids,
I will keep you sheltered within
Beside me, I counted your moments
I turn into the breath that leaves you
I will breeze into your heart, and in those
waking moments, I pray to God
Oh, I am getting drenched in the rain
Looking at you, I melt away
My loneliness dissolves away
I go on sketching poems of love
Why did you come into my eyes?
Why?...
Oh moon, you gave me a gift in my dream,
my life
