When we lay side-by-side, before my eyes

I see how my arms warp around my pillow

Then, as I look, I see before me

Your back facing towards me

Night after night, this is how we began to sleep

I have heard, "this is not the way it should be"

So, I cannot help but to ask myself,

My heart holds innumerable amount of love

Only just for you

I can only hope, you realize it has been

You and I who have been joined

Hand and hand as well as heart to heart

To live as one together for the reason that we are

Husband and wife
