A thousand untold stories rest inside my heart,
like a diver lost deep beneath the river, his voice trapped in silence.
Whom shall I tell them to?
There are countless ears in this world,
yet not one that truly listens without fear or judgment.
And today seeing you,
I suddenly felt, perhaps you are that rain-soaked tenderness,
that knows how to touch the dust of my barren heart.
Tell me beautiful one,
will you become the deepest echo of my sorrow,
or the gentlest promise of my waiting joy?
Will you press your body close to mine,
if I offer you the shelter of my chest?
Come, just once.
See, how I’ve hidden love in every beat of my heart.
If I whisper I love you, will you love me too?
Will you place your hand upon my forehead
on nights when darkness drapes me in exhaustion?
Will you wipe my tears,
when my eyes grow heavy with silent cries?
Then come, look deep inside my heart,
Tell me truly,
is there anyone here but you?
Don’t smile a lie,
swear by God, don’t be heartless.
There is no one else, only you,
none but you live here within me.
So come, let’s build a home together,
and give our story the most beautiful ending,
whether it be joy or sorrow.
