My mind floats gently on the romance

For falling in love with you

I applaud when the sun rises

The birds sing their little heart out

The panorama fades away and the horizon becomes darkened

But my vivacity does not cease to exist

My love for you grows 

Along with flowers bloom, the buds rip open

You're a mantle around me; I bask in your tenderness

Like in a winter morning when the thick mist is all around.

Also in the summer night if no light wind blows

In solemn silence I can endure the intense heat 

Your camaraderie can cool my soul 

That adds charm to the moon-lit hours

At any roadside cafe

I enjoy coffee with you

It is more refreshing, calming and fortifying

Than any five star luxury hotel warmly offers

For I am not born to walk on my own

As the stars do to the unclouded sky

I try to lay my love on you

And make every effort to bring smile in your face.
