The Sequence of Footsteps

The sequence of footsteps I heard last night,
as I wandered by the place where I dwell.
I took a guess and then I found out I was right.
It was you, the only one who can make me feel well.

The fragrance that I smell along with the deep breath I inhaled,
when I ran into you in this empty street in front of my place,
makes me forget all those troubles through time when I failed,
when broken heart gave rise to flooding tears all over my face.

The smile I took a glance at was of such incomparable beauty
that makes me feel sure that I can go through life's hardship.
The way your pretty eyes look at me whenever each other we see,
makes me able to have a firm stance even on a wave-shaken ship.

Not for once and nowhere in the world
I ever felt even close to what I feel right now.
You have changed me and turned me bold
while facing any problems no matter high or low.
