As I stand in front of you,
Looking at a beautiful view,

Your silhouette seems so familiar to me,
Looking at a Miracle in front of me,

Closing my eyes,
I think, is this but only a dream?

I have misty memories of you,
From so very long ago,

Everything feels very familiar,
I missed many chances to be with you,
I let them just pass by,

I was afraid the red thread, that connected,
our hearts broke and let me go,

I felt lost in this life,
Until other Souls brought me
Back home to you,

I have nothing to give up but my life for you,
I don't want to be lost again,

While wiping away my tears from my eyes,
I am happy; to be back home.

This morning I saw snow falling,

Feeling lonely and cold,
My thoughts drift too far away,
Places and times,

Far to the East my thoughts fly,
Through a clear blue sky; thousands of miles,
Over a vast ocean,
Over a calm Eastern Sea,

My thoughts finally falling into a
Calm miracle,

I'm not afraid,
Someday, I will stand upon the ground
Of this place written about in Fairytales,
This place called “Dae han min guk.”

This morning I saw snow falling,
It made my thoughts fly to a beautiful
Place and time.
Thoughts that warmed my heart,

Forgive me for loving a place,
I've only read about in fairytales and visited,
In, my dreams.

You appear to me, in my dreams,
You vanish every morning,
Without a saying a word,

You live in my words,

You visit me, in my dreams,
Bringing me, gifts,
Of beauty and love,
I can't resist,

You vanish every morning,
Without saying a word,
Leaving me lonely and cold,

Still,
Thoughts of you remain in my heart,
And in these words, 

I write to you.

Out the window I see;

A crescent moon,
Beautiful lights,
A painting of the place, they call a miracle,

I raise a glass of soju, to drink to you,

Crying for my lost love,
A love that has flown to Heaven above,

I take a sip of soju,
Wondering why my love has not flown away with you,

I only long to hear you laugh,
I only long to see you dance,
I only long to hear you say, “Have a nice day. I love you.”

Taking a drink of soju, wishing you were here with me,
In this place, they call a miracle,

My tears are flying into, my glass of soju for you.

I remember a time;

When, days grew longer,

When winter has returned to fight its final battle with summer,

When, hot and cold winds touched my face,
They gave me chills wondering if winter would lose the battle,

When the site of budding cherry blossoms. Touched my eyes,
And warmed my heart.

I remember a place;

Standing in a park of flowers by a lake, like a fairytale,

Looking at a mirror,
With thousands of flowers,
A beautiful sunset,
Seeing stars of cherry blossoms sparkling, in a mirror of waves.

I remember a dream,
Standing in this place in the spring.

I look through your eyes, to find your Soul,

I see twinkling bright lights,
Like stars floating in night skies,

Looking at you standing in front of me,
I see reflections of blooming cherry blossoms in the spring,

Loving you is an impossible thing.
Loving you is as unreachable
As touching the stars in the night sky,

Yet!

You are the reason I am alive,
The reason I wake every morning and feel alive,

I will wait for you.
