YANG to YIN on Tiger New Year Valentine's Day

With the towel you used as my pillow
I enter dreams with you
We fly on burgundy towel over stars towards the moon
Looking into your eyes, I whisper
Baby, I love you!

Driving through palm and banana fields
I am with you in the blue fog rising from trees
Your blurred eyes flash in my mind
Holding your invisible hand, I murmur
Baby, I love you!

Walking on our sundried beach again
My mind holds your hand tightly in mine
Every my step covers your footprint left on the golden sand
Listening to your clear laughter stored in waves, I echo
Baby, I love you!

Bumping on the unfinished path
I go to eat where we ate
The villager serves me the seafood soup you enjoyed
Joining the hands at table, to your empty seat, I pray
Baby, I love you!

Drinking and dancing a goodbye on the farm
I keep my arm mentally around your shoulder
We kick new naught dance steps invisibly among friends
Moving my body rhythmically with music, I sing
Baby, I love you!

Recalling every bit in our friendship
I wonder why my love took two decades to erupt
We are finally welded by burning affection
Wiping a wine drop from you on my special mat, I explain
Baby, I love you!

Talking to your picture on my desk
I join you to play with Mickey Mouse
We twist and jump crazily like happy kids
Moving my fingers swiftly on the keyboard, I type
Baby, I love you!

Opening my arms wider towards east
I am asking you to flap your wings
We flit hand in hand from mountains to rivers
Taking you into my big hug, I confirm
Baby, I LOVE YOU!
