promise

I had hoped that I could awaken on such a day
when I’m covered in the radiant morning light
I always felt that I was able to uphold
the promise we made back then

even if I lose my way on the many diverging paths
they will eventually lead me to you and the future as long as I have faith

tightly, tightly, I hold only you in my arms
these feelings gushing forth are not mine alone anymore
I just want to be with you today and tomorrow
don’t rush to the dreams you search for, walk with me slowly instead

we’re soaked by the sudden passing rain
let me near your dripping face, your delightful smile

the happier we become, the more worries that unfold
but even so I still love you

no matter where we are, no matter what we do, I can’t stop loving you
I want us to share all our boundless love together

I know you’re nearby
though I feel a little shy every time our eyes meet

tightly, tightly, I hold only you in my arms
these feelings gushing forth are not mine alone anymore
I just want to be with you today and tomorrow
don’t rush to the dreams you search for, walk with me slowly instead
the love we promised each other protects us now
