Am I within myself, or am I someone else?
Are you someone else, or are you within me?
Does any eye notice you filling up?
Are there any shadows protecting you?

Some nights are unbearable for me
Is your life also an unbearable existence?

In every reflection, I see your reflection
Do you visit my room every day?

I don't envy that you are happy there
The pledge of bygone time is that it will come again

Now, my eyes are not tearful
The moon said yesterday that it will come again

May I look at you wholeheartedly, is there any objection?
Can I touch your locks with my hands, is there any hindrance?

Who knows, maybe I can express my love again
Can I call you mine for a few moments, is there any objection?
