You passed through an evening, all of a sudden
Right through the very seam of the night!
Like a song whose name I do not know,
You touched my heart, a beloved who fell into my night.
In your eyes, there was a distant sea
I, a ship left stranded upon its shore
Without a word, you undid the knot within me,
A knot I had kept tied for years.
Whenever the sky turns into a crimson gate,
My distracted gaze searches for you from my window.
Only with you can the night’s unfinished sentence
Find its completion.
I promise you neither the spring
Nor some fairy tale I cannot forget
Yet, in the most secluded corner of my heart,
There is a place reserved for you.
