(Rin:) The promise that the two of us will always dance together
is turned into a lie by my growing bosom.
With our blond hair reflected in the mirror,
we take turns combing for each other.
(Len:) We used to be rocked in the same bed.
The two of us were connected with our hands held together.
(Rin:) Now an unrecognized face is reflected, and the whispering voice deeper.
I will shatter that mirror with this hammer in my hand.
(Len:) Tearing down our built toy castle into pieces,
our creaking bones are the bell that announces the end to the knight and the princess.
(Len:) In the distorted mirror, with hands folded, our fingers are not of the same length.
(Rin:) From now on we will sleep in separate beds?
You whisper to me "good night."
As you turn the doorknob and open the door,
I jump to that sound and grab the edge of your clothes.
(Len:) I kiss your extended fingers,
in that instant an impulse runs through my spine.
(Rin:) Don't turn off the light if I'm sleeping alone at night.
As I scream "no," I will pound my pillow with my right hand.
(Len:) Saying things like "I'm scared of ghosts," you're such a baby, my princess.
Your watery eyes, however, are hinting to me something different.
(Rin:) Our private time unknown to daddy and mommy,
is it finally over? It's a faraway dream.
(Len:) Your body temperature, through the thin blanket,
breaks open my lock.
(Rin:) As we silently lock the door,
our gazing pupils are looking for an answer.
(Len:) I erase my childish excuse together with the light.
If I can no longer pick up your hair, then I will also tell lies.
(Rin:) Stopping time, we now embrace tightly,
as we try to synchronize our ticking heartbeats.
(Len:) With your melting hot
breath and hugging warmth,
I won't make any further move. It's as if I'm your knight.
