Life's Sweet Memory

In this world, you may be just one person
But to one person, you may be the world
He doesn't need to alarm your mind that he is coming
Because he already alarmed your heart that he's your everything.

It is like just we are looking for something 
In a journey without ending
Two lost souls seeking life's sweet mystery
They don't know, they are destined to be

Anybody can experience this awesome feeling
Even a brave man makes him weak without knowing
A king can step off his throne for the relationship that will bring him to life everlasting
This is what love's true meaning

Love is the language that heart speaks
This is what a person seeks
Climb hard to the mountain's peak
And once you get to the top, the feeling is fantastic.
