The skies are low and cloudy 
Accompanied by a friendly breeze
Painting our universe with shades
Of dust like we’re celebrating a carnival

while I was drifting far away in my thoughts
So drunk in love we were practically floating off the ground

My heart jumps out and dances in jubilance to the tune oozing out of your soul like the smiling beauty of the moonlight

Captured my heart, serenading my body and soul with the drum sounds of calmness—making it free as a mountain bird

The depth of excitement in me was evident—my cheeks were so fine and colorful like the white petals of a flower under a hot sun.
