Time Goes By

Autumn leaves burn.
Winter snow melts.
Spring flowers wilt.
Summer's grass dies.

Time Goes By.
But when I'm not with you, I die inside.
You are the reason I stay alive.
Every breath I take is for you, and you alone.

If you suddenly vanished, that's it.
I would find a way to vanish with you.
My love for you in timeless.
Until the day this world ends, I am hopelessly devoted to you.

And when that day comes when you realize you love me too,
I will sit back and sigh with relief,
Because now my life can begin.
Me and you, you and me.
Forever and always.
