Time has passed

Since then, when I revealed to you

The passionate fire I released

That in my soul was concealed.

I bared my feelings and desires,

The love for you I kept inside.

With all my soul, I showed you then

How deeply I loved you, my friend...

Time has passed,

We’ve changed so much since.

In these days we've spent together,

We've achieved a lot, no pretense.

We've walked a long road side by side,

Met much along the way.

We felt and discovered things,

Of which we could not even dream.

I found my happiness with you,

Gazing at your smile and eyes,

Your closeness turned to bliss for me,

Your absence—an unbearable plight.

Never have I felt so close,

Nor felt such emotions for one.

I'd sell my soul for you, I know,

My love for you second to none.

With all my soul, I trust in you,

I believe every word you say.

Without fear, I give my heart to you—

It won't be torn away.

Do you remember our strolls

Under the bright evening moon?

Innocent first embraces,

Watching the sea waves in tune.

Do you remember, my love, recall

Our very first kiss we shared?

And the few shy smiles that followed,

The moments when we dared?

Countless movies we've watched together,

We laughed or cried at any film.

How many songs have we heard?

You took me to the organ hymn...

The rock concert in March was splendid,

With happiness, I was so drunk.

Yes, sometimes we felt sorrow,

Tears and sadness in our eyes.

In those moments, it might have seemed

Like the end, a complete demise.

But we never surrendered,

Showing strength of will and soul.

We became happy, stayed together,

Like fire, forging our role.

We became so close, we're kin.

With you even in my dreams.

And I’m certain of my feelings—

They forever in me gleam.

I write these lines for you, I miss you.

I won't betray, my loyalty true.

I’ll wait, remembering each day,

Know that I deeply love you.
