An unfamiliar breeze

embraces me, I wonder why.

Mysterious flowers

seem to bloom inside me on their own.

As you walk beside me

as my companion,

will I willingly

shed my shyness?

I fell, and you caught me.

I cried, and you smiled.

I burned, and you held me close.

Like my mother's smile,

the heart is music,

the world is the lyrics,

like an endless dance.

Calling you a friend,

I tried that.

Calling you my protector,

I tried that too.

A hundred more

titles I gave you,

yet none was enough.

To say that

one single word,

I am not brave enough.

It would be lovely if you said it yourself.

Like a floating moon,

like scattered light,

and like a dream within it,

you are there.

Whether it is the puzzle of a bond,

or an unopened flower bud,

if they open

on their own, that is true beauty.

With a sweet face, a gentle voice,

and kind words, you draw me in.

Toward yourself,

you pull me completely.

My shadow and your shadow

cling together and celebrate,

like an endless dance,

like an endless dance.

If your gaze

were a lesson,

I would study it all day long.

If your words

were the open sky,

my heart would be a cup to catch them.

I did not ask for anything else,

I did not close my ears,

no one was speaking,

the fragrant jasmine

breeze did not even blow,

and I did not even need to breathe,

when you are right beside me.

I did not go to the temple,

I did not even feel like going,

I lost myself,

with you, you, you

so close beside me,

if I just melt and live in your presence,

is that not enough? What else matters?

You became a thousand skies,

will you tell me where I belong in them?

You drizzled like a thousand clouds,

will you fall into me as love?

I fell, and you caught me.

I cried, and you smiled.

I burned, and you held me close.

Like my mother's smile,

the heart is music,

the world is the lyrics,

like an endless dance,

like an endless dance.
