My Wife
What sin have I committed?
I asked time for a chance to draw closer to you—it's your thought that only I fell in love with you.
So what sin have I committed?
I'm not fighting time; I'm a victim of silence. Otherwise, you—a stranger—wouldn't be unknown to me today.
Look at your faltering gestures; do they speak of the whims of time?
You're upset too, and so am I.
Who knows what this talk of time really means.
Step out from these shadows; let's create a new world together now.
That's my only plea to you.
My Wife
