1.
Let us uphold our love!
Beloved,
let us not live to see with open eyes
life drifting us apart.
Through our bodies
time is flowing out like sand in hourglass
and falling down on our blended shadow -
without a trace to bury us.
Without us
life is passing within us.
We're finding out about our hearts
what's already come true -
as if we're dying in our absence.
So -
let us uphold our love!
