Sleeping Beauty

Wind that sways your cheeks, a graceful afternoon,
I think of you falling into slumber,
My fears are the same as yours,
The letter filled with things I so wanted to tell you remains in this hand, unable to be given,

Carrying them within now leaves me strangely out of breath,
so throwing away my excuses, I’ll send it to you, an unclouded page,

Amidst my anxiety, an appeal to love adorned in snow that seems about to crumble,
to be by your side is like a dream, like a lie,
A sleeping forest, a person in thorns, just crying, still crying,
I will sing of love to unchanging feelings,

The spun thread with the needle of night,
to make a smile befitting your awakening,
that’s what my voice is for

Is there no end to thinking about it?
In those hands touched by warmth,
the morning light, I’ll send it to you, a prayer with no altruism,

Amidst my anxiety, an appeal to love adorned in snow that seems about to crumble,
to be by your side is like a dream, like a lie,
A frozen forest, a person in thorns, just crying, still crying,
There’s no answer in the deep, mysterious sky,

A sleeping forest, a person in thorns, just crying, still crying,
Even on days like a shimmering heat haze, I can see tomorrow,

Amidst my anxiety, an appeal to love adorned in snow that seems about to crumble,
to be by your side is like a dream, like a lie,

Can I stand here, dream,
know love, sing?
Even with a tear-stained face, I will smile so I can love
