Peak of love

Do not know since when!

Peak of love rise up

His eyes looked at the sea

Let the waves coil

Hand in hand hugged tightly

Lips say

Eyes instead of words

Do not mention separation scene

Winter toSpring and then again

Autumn came for Summer to leave

Four seasons still bloom

Now is not afraid of separation.
