I wonder, what kind of time would it take for our hearts to connect to one another?
Your smiling face seems so lonely. It’d be nice if there were a place it could go to heal
You were so close that I never noticed you, the person most important to me
Your presence alone is enough to provide me with happiness

Nights of sorrow and mornings of joy as well,
You were always there, watching over me
With a single “thank you,” there’s no way I could express how I feel;
Being completely honest was a little bit frightening
But now, in your arms… my heart has unraveled,
Embraced in this warm tranquility

In the midst of this serenity, outside the window, I suddenly notice the falling snow
Within this world, bathed in white, I snuggle up to the sound1 of you

My personal weaknesses and my habit of bluffing as well,
Since you don’t ignore them, taking it all in,
they’re nothing but simple words, harmlessly scattering away
Will I wake up from this someday, as if it were a dream?
I’ll never forget this moment.  Just don’t ever let go, please
I close my eyes, and make that single request

The reason for this teardrop, falling down my check is that
I can see it now; it’s right here – the light of our hearts connecting

Nights of sorrow and mornings of joy as well,
You were always there, watching over me
With a single “thank you,” there’s no way I could express how I feel;
Being completely honest was a little bit frightening
But now, in your arms… my heart has unraveled,
Embraced in this warm tranquility


  1. Most likely a heartbeat, but I decided to keep it literal.
