Reality struck me at midnight
My fantasies had fade away
As my heart begins to sink even deeper
How long have I been dreaming,
About a stranger I can’t call my lover?
The only stranger whom I allowed
To break and mend my heart repeatedly
The only stranger whom I loved recklessly
And the stranger whom I let myself
Get consumed by the love I have
The stranger’s face is all I see
In the morning when I wake up
Until midnight as I go to sleep
I dream about him in the day
And even when the night falls
Until our paths have crossed,
We’re no more than just strangers
But even if the deity allowed us to meet,
And his eyes laid upon me,
He will soon forget about it
Thus, when the day comes
I get tired of dreaming
About a stranger I can’t call mine,
Only then will I restrain myself
And forget about that stranger

It was in spring when you ― a complete stranger ― had melted my heart, uttering sweet words to your mother whom you've missed. And I thought how eerie it was that a stranger can easily tug at my heartstrings. Everyone loves their mother, so what makes you different? That remained a mystery to me, but perhaps it was the words you chose that enthralled me.
Still, in summer, I gave my love to another. That didn't close my doors, though. I still wanted to know you.
Autumn, then winter came. Seasons pass by quickly as I, too, quickly grew fonder of you. I count the leaves fall from the trees just as I count the times you've made me laugh. I watch the snow fall from the sky just as I watch you and realize... I do like you, dear.
A year has passed and I got to know you better. This time in spring, I started falling for you. You've melted my heart once again when you sang to me. Your voice that holds so much emotion ― how mesmerizing you really are. You never cease to amaze me. And perhaps that's the reason why I was bemused the first time.
Who knew it was the same season when you first knocked on the door of my heart? Now I'm finally letting you in for I know the answer this time ― I do love you, dear.
This time in summer, I didn't look for another and gave my love to you, wholly. You truly know the way to my heart.
But nothing can compare to the love that bloomed in spring ― the time you had enchanted me with the euphonious voice of yours. Just like how you sang to me, “I'll be the spring to your smiles,” for you are my only spring love.

When the day comes I get tired of dreaming about a stranger, maybe by then I can finally let go of my dearest and free myself from the love that consumed me.
Maybe by then, I can finally look at you without shedding any tears. And maybe I'll just laugh at the things I wrote about you; even this.
But right now, I can’t let you go―not today, not tomorrow or in the next few years―but someday, I will. And when that day comes and I remember you, maybe I’ll realize that I am far too young and naive now to know something about love, and that I only got swayed by the smaller traps of life. Just like how I found myself getting trapped by the love I have for you.
Someday, I will...

The mellifluous tones of his voice
Put my heart at ease
Lulled by the sound he makes,
I get lost in reverie
Is it the tenderness in his voice?
Or perhaps the words he utter?
Or his cloying expression?
I am not so sure
Whatever it may be,
My heart always sings with glee
Then I begin to cry
And express my deepest sentiment
How strange yet astonishing it is,
To feel everything at once
Just by hearing the sweet sound
Of the voice that enraptures me

She didn’t just love his chubby cheeks
She loved every bit of him―
From his round eyes to his button-like nose
And his plump lips that form a dulcet smile
She didn’t just love his winsomeness
She loved every side of him―
From his enthusiasm to his warmth
And his soft heart that endears her
She didn’t just love it when he sings
She loved every sound he makes―
From his humorous screams to his sweet whispers
And his laughter that puts her heart into ecstasy
And just like that,
She didn’t just love those parts;
She loved him whole
