Leaf


I gaze at a leaf that's hopelessly caught up in the strong winds

It wouldn't be much of a surprise if it broke off any moment now

That leaf that's being tossed around -- it's somehow so loveable

 

Like a leaf, I want to be hopelessly caught up

In you, who is more delicate than that leaf

 

When it breaks off -- well, that's of no matter

So I just want to be caught up in not the world, 

But at YOU.
