Cherry blossoms,
Floating in the breeze,
Only for a short time,
In the spring,

Dreams grow fast like magical cherry blossoms,
Floating in a breeze,

Longing to touch a memory,
Looking beyond time,
To truly see,

You Standing there,
With flowers in your hair,
Dressed for times past,

Our life together meant to be,
Only in a dream.

My Impossible Love

Our sad and hopeless love,
I'm thankful to have known you,

I'm sorry I can't show you how much I love you,

Love means more than the words,
"I love you."

You are far away,
You are so younger than me,

I'm so very old,
Born in a long ago time,

They say age doesn't matter,
But, the difference in years,
Bruises and hurts me every day,

Why can't I embrace you today?

Our sad love is impossible,
You Soul is far away,

I see your eastern heart at dawn every day,

Why can I not reach so far?

My love,

I can never touch you,

Even courtly love, my Princess can never be!

Our souls too far apart to reach our Destiny,

The only thing I will ever be is the sunlight that shines on your beautiful dreams.

Standing on a western shore,
Looking on,
He sees the edge of the world,

All angry,
Trapped in the sand,

Light fading slowly,
Sun falling,
Reflections of memories in the ocean's waves,

A foreigner,
Remembers an impossible past,

In whose heart,
Lives his past,
In a distant light and a long ago time,

A home he will,
Never see again.

Time passes by,
As black rose blooms,
Night so dark, new moon,

Worrying about your thorns,

I can't see you,
I worry! That you are only but a dream,

You girl! Are so magical,
Loving heart, **** Soul, so touchable,
Sweet lips so warm, so kissable,

The smell of your hot Soul,  
Trapped me in your magic spell,
Hard to resist your charm,

So huggable you are,

I like the feel of your quiet whispers in my ear,
I like the feel of your soft hands on my chest,

I loved a black rose tonight,
And she felt just right.

The long night has come again,
A ticking clock,
Following the hands to chase a dream,
Far across an ocean, how can I see?

With Lost memories found,
With empty hands never meeting,
With an empty heart,
Lost my way, somehow,

Thoughts of flying through times past,
Thoughts of being forgotten,
Thoughts of never seeing or touching you again,
Thoughts of being with you forever, racing through my mind,

Can't sleep,

I'm a fool trying to look for you,
I will never see you,

A long time now,
Saying your name every day,
Thinking of ways we can come together,

Even for only one night of passion,
To say those words, "I love you."
And to hear those words, those words, "I love you too."

Alone in a secret place,
Looking through yellow dust over a mournful sea of Souls,
Strange pinks and yellows I see rising. Is this spring?

So high a place,
Way beyond a dream,
A mountain top,

A great city below,
Millions of fluorescent moons,
Traveling through space and time,
Beneath is my Seoul,

You pull tears from my heart,
Such incredible beauty,
Such wonderful music,

Such hidden pain and sadness haunt my Seoul below.

Alone in a secret place,
Standing shouting no!

A thousand years past since I touched you,
The impossibility of two Souls meeting in this place,
Returning from the past,

Looking at a princess painted on a museum wall,
Memories rushing in,

You! Standing here too,

To continue our lives,
Separated by time,

Hand in hand we dance,
What mystery is this?

My life is incredible,
Because of you.

How can I capture your heart?
After waiting so long,
Locked in love, as the tides of time carried our Souls.

Many possible destinies, fate scatters,
Like cherry blossoms in a spring breeze.
You and I finally falling to earth in this corner of time.

Spending our lives together,
Never separated by death,

Rings of diamonds and gold,
Making promises, that will last an eternity,
I'll love and cherish your Soul in this life and the next,

Loving you was destined to be.
