A gentle stroll, gazing at your face
A celebration fills my whole soul
The moon crumbles in awe
Limitless, beyond all measure
Could such beauty truly exist?
Even the garden is bewildered
I float without falling down
I live a lifetime in a single day
Whenever I am with you
I begin to love myself
A gentle stroll, gazing at your face
A celebration fills my whole soul
The moon crumbles in awe
Limitless, beyond all measure
Could such beauty truly exist?
Even the garden is bewildered
...............
A single question,
once lost in confusion,
now stands tall and clear.
Sunlight and rain
are blending into one.
Let the road stretch as far as it goes,
the moments we have lived are enough.
The clouds may turn to water,
and the sky will swim everywhere within it.
Words will never be enough,
a whole lifetime cannot run out of it,
you are the love shining in my eyes.
Hey, whatever happens to the world,
wherever the roots may spread,
we are right here to be together.
She opens her endless eyes,
and with her soft little smiles,
she captures me in prison.
Bringing feelings never felt before,
she enters like a cool breeze,
holding up an umbrella for me.
Poems that never came before
now pour out in a single breath.
You touch me without touching,
and I forget how to walk.
I forget how to walk.
