The first time I saw you
Far off into the distance,
into another person arms,
my heart had skipped not one, but two heartbeats.

Gladness kept away all madness,
excitement devours sadness,
smiles and laughters surrounded me,
and for a moment I thought that's just where I want to be.

Each step I take tears leave my eyes,
it wasn't tears of terror,
instead tears of honors.

Like the river meets the ocean,
your eyes met mine.

like the sunshines on a rainy day,
I felt confused by the increasing of my heartbeats.

pounding in my chest as our eyes meet.
The arms that wrapped around me suddenly felt like torn meat.

like an instrumental piano the images of your eyes captivated my soul,
torn me from the want of the person I hold,
to the need of your soul with my soul.
