Because

The soft waves of the sea
Lapping at my feet,
Tell me their secret as I sit
- quietly and listen 

They tell me all stars and heavens 
exist solely for me
because...
They tell me colors are more intense for me 
because...
And songs so sweetly delightful for me 
because....

The waves enlighten me
to a purity that exists 
- a purity that repulses all evils 
because...

A purity like a lance, 
Piercing straight to my heart 
because...

Because of you, my true love
