Destined Melodies: A Tale of Koi no Yokan
In days of youth, our paths did intertwine,
A fateful meeting, 'neath the cherry bloom's grace,
Koi no yokan whispered in the breeze,
Destined hearts entwined, a love profound.
With tender courage, I approached your gaze,
But words eluded, fear held me in its sway.
The hallowed halls of our university days,
Where knowledge bloomed, and dreams took flight,
In ivory towers, we chased our chosen grace,
With books and dreams, our futures bright.
Yet, among the scholars, you stood apart,
The brilliant star that captured every heart.
In silent lectures, I'd steal glances at your grace,
In classrooms filled with wisdom's endless gaze,
My heart ached with longing, a hidden art,
For love unspoken, a secret held so tight.
The seasons danced, and time did not delay,
Our destinies entwined, come what may.
Through midnight walks and starry summer days,
Our connection grew, a love in its infancy,
Koi no yokan, a silent, subtle phrase,
In every touch, a whispered intimacy.
In the library's quiet, where scholars played their part,
You and I wove tales, a work of heartfelt art.
But shadows cast by doubt could not erase,
The yearning that had sparked within our gaze,
A secret love, we dared not to portray,
In the mosaic of our lives, a hidden tapestry.
With each stolen moment, our bond grew tight,
Two souls in unison, sharing the same flight.
Though fear and time may try to tear apart,
The love we nurtured from the very start,
In reminiscence of our youth's embrace,
I see your face in every memory's grace.
Koi no yokan, a phrase that will never depart,
For you're the one I've loved with all my heart.
Now, as we journey beyond our university days,
With lives well-lived, and wisdom's light,
Our love endures, a masterpiece of art,
A testament to destiny's guiding grace.
In every glance, in every tender gaze,
I find the echoes of that love ablaze.
In the language of our hearts, a unique phrase,
A love profound, unspoken yet so bright,
Koi no yokan, in its subtle grace,
You are the one, my eternal light.
So, in the tapestry of life, where destinies may part,
You'll forever be the keeper of my heart.
Through the passage of time, our love does endure,
As seasons change and life's currents swiftly flow,
We stand together, steady and pure,
In the face of challenges that come and go.
In our shared journey, we've found our way,
Beyond the confines of youthful days,
Through trials and triumphs, come what may,
Our love remains steadfast, a brilliant blaze.
No need for eloquence or grand displays,
Our connection speaks in silent harmony,
With every smile, a million words we convey,
In the language of love, our symphony.
The world may evolve, and the stars may rearrange,
But the constancy of our love will never change.
In the tapestry of existence, we've etched our mark,
A love story whispered through time's expanse,
With every heartbeat, we embark,
On a journey of love, of endless chance.
Koi no yokan, a promise we share,
A bond unbreakable, beyond compare,
In your eyes, I find the universe's grace,
And in your embrace, I've found my place.
As we reflect on our days of youth,
The path we've walked, the trials we've faced,
It's clear that love, in its endless truth,
Is a guiding force, a timeless embrace.
So let us celebrate the love we've known,
From the days of university to the present zone,
With hearts entwined, forever our own,
In this love story, beautifully grown.
In the language of our hearts, our love is the theme,
A masterpiece of passion, a recurring dream,
With every glance, in every gleam,
Our love remains eternal, a luminous beam.
In Koi no yokan, we found our way,
Destined to love, come what may,
In your arms, forever I'll stay,
My love for you, I'll never betray.
As time marches on, our love's fire will burn,
In each other's arms, we'll always return,
Through the pages of life, together we'll turn,
In love's embrace, eternally we yearn.
