As your companion, I
wish to walk along,
and find sweet joy in that togetherness.
Without stepping aside, my feet alongside yours
will keep walking forward.
They will cross every threshold just to join you.
As I draw close to you, day and night become beautiful.
Become so close that my soul melts, that is enough.
Never... ever... drifting apart...
Everything comes together just to live with you.
As your companion, I
wish to walk along,
and find sweet joy in that togetherness.
...
Like a bean vine that never lets go,
I long to entwine around you in the mountain forest.
Without letting even a drop of sorrow touch you,
I will carry you within the nest of my soul.
Even if the whole town gathers to beat and thrash me,
I will survive and endure just to be with you.
Like the lines upon your palm,
I will stay hidden and forget the world.
As your companion, I
wish to walk along,
and find sweet joy in that togetherness.
Along with you...
Like the moon floating until daybreak,
I will drift over to gently stroke your hair.
Even after dawn breaks, like a daydream,
I will refuse to step away, staying to listen to your stories.
Even if the entire sky were sifted through,
there is no one who can ever equal you.
Without lingering in my eyes,
do not think of walking away, do not shatter my life.
As your companion, I
wish to walk along,
and find sweet joy in that togetherness.
Without stepping aside, my feet alongside yours
will keep walking forward.
They will cross every threshold just to join you.
As I draw close to you, day and night become beautiful.
Become so close that my soul melts, that is enough.
Never... ever... drifting apart...
Everything comes together just to live with you.
Along with you...
