How much time has passed?
I’ve stopped counting the days.
Today, just like always,
it’s gotten dark.
Let’s close our eyes and gently go
to that place in the mist.
The ash-colored princess embraces me
in a moment that seems like an eternity,
And brushes away my pale tears
with an etherial warmth.
It was fragile wasn’t it,
that which we thought was so deep.
Now, unable to do anything,
I’m led astray by the moon.
Let’s close our eyes and watch the continuation
of that tale under the moonlight.
The pitch black prince embraces you,
and pledges his eternal love.
We lose sight of the flow of time,
and that summer is a far away past.
The castle gardens shine brightly
beneath the tower that scrapes the night sky.
The moon accompanies the two on their stroll
and colors like dreams the flowers that bloom in the garden.
The smiling moon embraces the night
and is reflected through the darkness.
It reaches the lovers
and turns ash to silver.
Let’s wear the moonlight that led us here as a veil,
and dance in the mist,
until I awaken.
That day when i could look at you and smile,
without knowing sadness or regret.
Wrapped in the summer night air,
that dream was alive.
