Let’s sculpt the sky and sift the stars,

Garner moonbeams and hide our scars,

Weave fond stories ‘midst argent clouds, 

Far away from the thronging crowds, 

Nurture ardent love, ne’er letting our passion die,

Painting myriad memories let’s sculpt the sky. 

 

Seasons countless our eyes shalt see,

In a mirthful haven we’ll be,

Forever singing songs of love,

Tether to dreams and soar above,

Blurring boundaries we’ll traverse realms limitless,

Harbor eternal love across seasons countless.
