for koko

I choose dreams of seven colors,

Only for you.

I choose dreams of monochrome romance, 

Only for you.

I choose to be good and pure,

Only for you.

 

My dreams of wanting simpler times,

Only chose you.

My dreams of living life in musicals,

Only chose you.

My dreams of being truly devoted to one.

Only chose you.

 

My desire to grow, strengthened

The day I met you.

My desire to care for and provide, intensified

The day you made me your own.

 

My ability to be kind and strong, nourished,

When I made you mine.

My ability to be hopeful, bloomed

When I made you my own.

 

 

My promises of endless happiness and warmth,

Choose you.

My promises of eternal love and adore,

Choose you.

All my later words and promises,

Choose to be named as you.

 

I have chosen my seven minutes,

To be of you.
